How Do You Calculate The Thickness Of A Piston?

How Do You Calculate The Thickness Of A Piston? Thickness of the Piston Head can be calculated according to Strength basis which is given by the Grashoff’s formula: t=D×√3×pmax/16×b; where, t=thickness of piston head (mm) D=cylinder bore(mm) pmax=maximum gas pressure or explosion pressure (MPa or N/mm2) b=permissible bending stress( N/mm2) What is the formula for
