The Cylinder Compression Volume calculator computes compression volume (V2) of the cylinder at the bottom of the stroke when the volume is at a minimum and is also known as the Clearance Volume and the Combustion Chamber volume.  The Compression Volume is a function the piston chamber volume, deck volume, compression gasket volume, dish volume, dome volume, valve relief volume, crevice volume, and chamfer volume.   Chamfer
Crevice
Deck Height

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose your units (default is cubic inches) and enter the following:

• (cV) This is the chamber volume of the piston and the largest portion of the Compression Volume,
• (dV) This is the deck volume
• (cgV) This is the compression gasket volume
• (dishV) This is the dish volume (usually published in the cylinder specs)
• (domV) This is the dome volume (usually published in the cylinder specs)
• (vrV) This is the valve relief volume
• (crvV) This is the cylinder crevice volume
• (chmfV) This is the cylinder chamfer volume

Compression Volume: The calculator computes the Compression Volume in cubic inches.  However, this can be automatically converted to other volume units (e.g. cubic centimeters or liters) via the pull-down menu.  Note, a piston has either a dome or a dish, not both. Also note that the crevice and chamfer volumes have a default of zero since they are often ignored
