Minimum Width of Ring Groove Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Width of Ring Groove = 0.75*Axial Thickness of Piston Ring
h₂ = 0.75*h
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Width of Ring Groove - (Measured in Meter) - Width of ring groove is the distance between two consecutive ring grooves.
Axial Thickness of Piston Ring - (Measured in Meter) - Axial thickness of piston ring is the length along the longitudinal of the piston.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Axial Thickness of Piston Ring: 4.5 Millimeter --> 0.0045 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h₂ = 0.75*h --> 0.75*0.0045

Evaluating ... ...

h₂ = 0.003375

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.003375 Meter -->3.375 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

3.375 Millimeter <-- Width of Ring Groove

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

More about Ring Grooves

Piston ring grooves serve a larger purpose than simply supporting the rings. They impact combustion sealing, oil control, friction, and many more engine attributes.
For best results, the ring groove must offer the ideal clearance and freedom of movement for the ring and it must provide a hard, flat sealing surface for the ring to bear against under high cylinder pressure.
Ring grooves must be perfectly perpendicular to the cylinder wall so cylinder pressure can press the ring down against the land and out against the cylinder wall for optimum sealing.
