Piston in reciprocating compressor has to perform work until certain life. But piston fail because of improper design. The design of piston must be done for a life time performance. In this paper, the body of work is carried out to design the piston and measure the distribution of stress on the piston of reciprocating oil less gas booster compressor. The dimension of the piston is calculated by analytical method. According to this dimension solid model is developed using modeling software Creo Parametric 2.0. Then analysis is carried through using FEA based software ANSYS 15.0. The result stresses are compared with analytical calculation.
