A piston ring is a split ring that fits into a
groove on the outer diameter of a piston in a reciprocating engine such
as an internal combustion engine or steam engine.
The three main functions of piston rings in reciprocating engines are :
>Sealing the combustion chamber so that there is no transfer of gases from the combustion chamber to the crank.
>Supporting heat transfer from the piston to the cylinder wall.
Regulating engine oil consumption.
>The gap in the piston ring compresses to a few thousandths of an inch when inside the cylinder bore.
