C = (pi*f_s*d_w^2)/(8*K*P)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 5 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Spring Index for Valve Spring - Spring Index for Valve Spring is the ratio of the mean coil diameter of the spring to the diameter of the spring Wire.
Shear Stress in Valve Spring - (Measured in Pascal) - Shear Stress in Valve Spring is the stress induced into the spring due to its compression and expansion.
Wire Diameter of Valve Spring - (Measured in Meter) - Wire Diameter of Valve Spring is the diameter of the wire of a valve spring, which constitutes the coils of the spring.
Wahl Factor of Valve Spring - Wahl Factor of Valve Spring is a stress factor used in order to take into account the effect of direct shear and change in coil curvature.
Axial Force on Valve Spring - (Measured in Newton) - Axial Force on Valve Spring is the force acting at the ends of spring trying to compress or expand it in the axial direction.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Shear Stress in Valve Spring: 300 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 300000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Wire Diameter of Valve Spring: 5.5 Millimeter --> 0.0055 Meter (Check conversion here)
Wahl Factor of Valve Spring: 1.2 --> No Conversion Required
Axial Force on Valve Spring: 340 Newton --> 340 Newton No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C = (pi*f_s*d_w^2)/(8*K*P) --> (pi*300000000*0.0055^2)/(8*1.2*340)

Evaluating ... ...

C = 8.73466707454883

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

8.73466707454883 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

8.73466707454883 ≈ 8.734667 <-- Spring Index for Valve Spring

A Helical Spring

The helical spring, a type of spring in which wire is wrapped in a coil that resembles a screw thread, is probably the most commonly used mechanical spring. It can be designed to carry, pull, or push loads. Twisted helical (torsion) springs are used in engine starters and hinges. Helical tension and compression springs have numerous uses, notably automobile suspension systems, gun-recoil mechanisms, and closing valves on engines.
