A 1:1 ratio is equal to 0 PSI. 14.7 PSI is equal to a 2:1 ratio. Just multiply your ratio by 14.7 to get PSI, or divide PSI by 14.7 to get ratio.

This is only in a perfect cylinder where valves close exactly as the piston reaches the bottom and stays closed the whole way, and if no air bleeds out from the valves, or between the piston and cylinder wall. Not to mention the difference between if it's hot or cold. Plus, according to the math problem, if you had a compression ratio of 1:1, you would be pushing 14.7 psi. So there isn't any REAL way of telling an engines compression ratio without getting the specs for everything.

Compression ratio is a ratio of the volume of gas in an engine's cylinder before and after combustion. To convert compression ratio to psi (pounds per square inch), you would need additional information such as the specific engine's cylinder volume, operating conditions, and fuel type to calculate the pressure generated during combustion. It is not a direct conversion and depends on various factors specific to the engine.

What is 11.31 compression ratio in psi?

You can't convert a RATIO (which is a pure number) to a MEASUREMENT such as psi. You get such a ratio by dividing two different pressures, for example.


What is the compression ratio of 600 PSI?

"600 psi" is not a compression ratio; it's a pressure. For a RATIO, you need to compare TWO different numbers.


What is the pressure of gas in cylinder during combustion?

Depends on the car. If it is naturally aspirated (no turbo or supercharger), then it's easy. Cylinder pressure = 14.5 (1 bar) * Compression Ratio. If however, it's forced induction: Cylinder pressure = ( 14.5 (1 bar) + Boost psi ) * Compression Ratio. For instance, in a naturally aspirated car with a 10.0:1 Compression Ratio : 145 psi = 14.5 * 10 Or in a turbo car with the unreasonably high 10.0 compression ratio with 10 psi boost : 245 psi= ( 14.5 + 10 ) * 10

How much compression should a diesel have?

A diesel engine requires at least a 20:1 compression ratio, or about double a gasoline engine. The PSI this translates to depends on the size of the cylinder. You will need to consult the manufacturer's service manual.
