Influence of central included angle on piston service life.
| Piston number | Diameter of dimple at lip, D (mm) | Spacing, L (mm) | Central included angle, α (°) | Diameter of dimple at root, D′ (mm) | Average service life of piston (h) | Increased service life (%) |
| L-Standard | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 54.67 | — | L-D2 | 3 | 5.5 | 12 | 0 | 76.83 | 40.53 | L-S1 | 1.5 | 5.5 | 3 | 0 | 105.00 | 92.06 | L-S2 | 4.5 | 5.5 | 27 | 0 | 59.50 | 8.83 |
