  2. Select the unit standard where the form offers a choice, then choose Calculate.
  3. Read the breakdown and compare the worked example below. Change one assumption to see its effect.

Formula used

cc = π/4 × bore(mm)^2 × stroke(mm) × cylinder count ÷ 1,000.

Worked example

86 mm bore × 86 mm stroke with four cylinders gives approximately 1,998.23 cc, or 1.998 litres.

What the result means

This is swept piston volume and assumes identical cylinders. It does not measure combustion chamber volume or determine horsepower.
