Pitch of Engine Valve Spring given its Free Length and Total Number of Turns Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Pitch of Valve Spring = (Free Length of Valve Spring)/(Total Coils in Valve Spring-1)
p = (L_f)/(N_t-1)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Pitch of Valve Spring - (Measured in Meter) - Pitch of Valve spring is defined as the axial distance between adjacent coils in the uncompressed state of the spring.
Free Length of Valve Spring - (Measured in Meter) - Free Length of Valve Spring is defined as the axial length of an unloaded helical compression spring. In In this case, no external force acts on the spring.
Total Coils in Valve Spring - Total Coils in Valve Spring is the total number of coils or turns of spring including the coils at the ends of the spring.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Free Length of Valve Spring: 122 Millimeter --> 0.122 Meter (Check conversion here)
Total Coils in Valve Spring: 15 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

p = (L_f)/(N_t-1) --> (0.122)/(15-1)

Evaluating ... ...

p = 0.00871428571428571

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00871428571428571 Meter -->8.71428571428571 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

8.71428571428571 ≈ 8.714286 Millimeter <-- Pitch of Valve Spring
