Cubic Capacity of an Engine

CUBIC CAPACITY OF AN ENGINE

What is Cubic Capacity?

Cubic Capacity of an engine is defined as the Volume of the Cylinder in the Engine. Generally The Cubic Capacity differs as the length of the Cylinder height differs.

When the Height of the cylinder becomes more lengthier the Piston will travel more length in a single stroke which effects in maximum output.

The Cubic Capacity concept is the same for cars and Bikes and all other Engines.

In Cars and Bigger vehicles the number of cylinders will be more, thus the over all cubic capacity will be considered.

for eg: Maruti 800 has 3 cylinders with cubic capacity of 265 to 267(approx.) which the Engine has the combined cubic capacity of 267*8=800CC.

Was it clear???
