Aero Engine Piston Ring Design: Practical Considerations Involved in Their Manufacture and Fitting in the Engine to Meet the Needs of Current Practice

Abstract

THE fundamental requirements of a piston ring which must be fulfilled, if it is efficiently to perform its main function of acting as a seal against the passage of compressed gas between the cylinder and piston, are numerous and exacting.
