Description
A piston ring is a small circular metal ring fitted around the circumference of the piston to seal the combustion chamber and regulate oil consumption. It is usually made of gray cast iron and fits tightly against the cylinder wall while regulating the amount of oil used to lubricate the up-and-down movement of the piston.
Features
- Provides a ring end gap of 0.8 mm in diameter to ensure proper sealing and prevent ring breakage due to thermal expansion.
- Piston rings have a nitrided surface treatment for added wear resistance.
Applications
Piston rings act as a seal between the piston and the cylinder wall.
