Inboard area of a master cylinder.
Im reading a brake systems book and have gotten into the hydraulic gain section. Although I can figure out the gain ratios with the data thats in the book there is one part they leave n/a on the master cylinder. Heres an example of what it gives
Master Cyl dia/0.75in inboard area/n/a in sq. effective area/0.44in sq.
Caliper dia 2.00in inboard area/3.14in sq. effective area/6.28in sq.
Now from that data the n/a number is right around .585 but where did they get .585 from?

a 3/4" bore has a surface area of .4418" square inches, that's all you need to use.
Any mention of inboard area on a master cyl is an error, - there is no .585
When comparing single-piston calipers to multi-piston calipers, use the sq in bore area for a single piston type caliper, or on a 4 piston caliper use only one side of the caliper. If multiple caliper bore diameters are used, calculate the total bore area in sq in for one caliper half.

Awesome! Thank you sir!
How do you get the .4418" of the 0.75" cylinder? What is the formula for figuring that out? Originally Posted by Damn True

Where pi is a constant approximately equal to 3.14 and r is the radius. Originally Posted by greencactus3
