Length of Ring Section of Piston Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Ring Section of Piston = Number of Piston Rings*Axial Thickness of Piston Ring+(Number of Piston Rings-1)*Width of Ring Groove
h_R = z*h+(z-1)*h₂
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Length of Ring Section of Piston - (Measured in Meter) - Length of ring section of piston is the length of the part of piston where rings are fitted, from top of first ring to the bottom of last ring.
Number of Piston Rings - Number of Piston Rings is the total number of piston rings used inside a cylinder block.
Axial Thickness of Piston Ring - (Measured in Meter) - Axial thickness of piston ring is the length along the longitudinal of the piston.
Width of Ring Groove - (Measured in Meter) - Width of ring groove is the distance between two consecutive ring grooves.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Number of Piston Rings: 4 --> No Conversion Required
Axial Thickness of Piston Ring: 4.5 Millimeter --> 0.0045 Meter (Check conversion here)
Width of Ring Groove: 6.5 Millimeter --> 0.0065 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_R = z*h+(z-1)*h₂ --> 4*0.0045+(4-1)*0.0065

Evaluating ... ...

h_R = 0.0375

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0375 Meter -->37.5 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

37.5 Millimeter <-- Length of Ring Section of Piston

(Calculation completed in 00.008 seconds)

Radial Width of Piston Ring

LaTeX Go Radial Width of Piston Ring = Diameter of Cylinder Bore*sqrt(3*Allowable Radial Pressure on Piston Ring/Permissible Tensile Stress for Ring)

Number of Piston Rings

LaTeX Go Number of Piston Rings = Diameter of Cylinder Bore/(10*Minimum Axial Thickness of Piston Ring)

Minimum Axial Thickness of Piston Ring given Cylinder Inner Diameter

LaTeX Go Axial Thickness of Piston Ring = Diameter of Cylinder Bore/(10*Number of Piston Rings)

Minimum Axial Thickness of Piston Ring given Radial Width of Ring

LaTeX Go Axial Thickness of Piston Ring = 0.7*Radial Width of Piston Ring

Length of Ring Section of Piston Formula

LaTeX Go

Length of Ring Section of Piston = Number of Piston Rings*Axial Thickness of Piston Ring+(Number of Piston Rings-1)*Width of Ring Groove
h_R = z*h+(z-1)*h₂

What are Piston Rings?

Pistons are usually equipped with piston rings. These are circular metal rings that fit into grooves in the piston walls and assure a snug fit of the piston inside the cylinder. They help provide a seal to prevent leakage of compressed gases around the piston and to prevent lubricating oil from entering the combustion chamber.

How to Calculate Length of Ring Section of Piston?

Length of Ring Section of Piston calculator uses Length of Ring Section of Piston = Number of Piston Rings*Axial Thickness of Piston Ring+(Number of Piston Rings-1)*Width of Ring Groove to calculate the Length of Ring Section of Piston, Length of ring section of piston is the length of the part of piston where rings are fitted, from top of the first ring to the bottom of the last ring. Length of Ring Section of Piston is denoted by h_R symbol.

How to calculate Length of Ring Section of Piston using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Length of Ring Section of Piston, enter Number of Piston Rings (z), Axial Thickness of Piston Ring (h) & Width of Ring Groove (h₂) and hit the calculate button.
