Piston rings are circular metallic components that fit around the perimeter of a piston in an internal combustion engine. They provide a seal between the piston and the cylinder walls, preventing the combustion gases from escaping into the crankcase and ensuring efficient engine operation.
Senses:
- Primary Sense (Noun): Piston rings are essential engine parts, primarily used in automotive and industrial engines.
- Secondary Sense (Plural Noun): Can refer to multiple piston rings collectively installed in an engine.
Examples:
