J1590_198910 INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES - PISTON RINGS - MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS

Differences, where they exist, are shown in Appendix A.

This document establishes a classification of materials intended for the manufacture of piston rings based on mechanical properties and the stresses that these materials are capable of withstanding.

This document applies to the manufacture of piston rings up to and including 200 mm diameter for reciprocating internal combustion engines. It also applies to piston rings for compressors working under similar conditions.
