Engine Displacement
(redirected from Swept volume)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
engine displacement [′en·jən di‚splās·mənt]
(mechanical engineering)
Volume displaced by each piston moving from bottom dead center to top dead center multiplied by the number of cylinders.

Engine Displacement 

the total working volume of the cylinders in an internal combustion engine. The working volume of one cylinder is equal to the product of the cross-sectional area of one cylinder multiplied by the piston stroke. The engine displacement is one of the features characterizing the power rating of an engine. The engine displacement is usually measured in liters (cu decimeters), but, in engines of small working volumes, the displacement is frequently measured in cu cm (for example, in motorcycle engines).

I remember things like the swept volume of cylinders - real techie stuff.
8 seconds is hardly orgasmic, nor is a top speed of 119mph, but when you remember that the swept volume of the 3-cylinder turbocharged engine is only seven tenths of a litre, the word `impressive' springs to mind.
According to Boiswood, the gauge is a true flow through gauge featuring a fully swept volume with no dead or entrapment areas, It uses a diaphragm sensing element which is polished to 5Ra or an optional 10Ra, with a cavity comprising a low internal volume, fully swept to 5Ra to reduce particle generation and eliminate entrapment areas.
