First Paper: Measurement of the Oil-Film Thickness between the Piston Rings and Liner of a Small Diesel Engine

Description

<jats:p> A capacity gauge has been designed for operating in the conditions of a working engine. The method of using it for determining the oil-film thickness and piston-ring profile is described. Oil-film thicknesses in the range 0·4-2·5 μm between the piston rings and the cylinder liner have been observed. Their variation with speed, load and temperature has been measured and it is concluded that their behaviour is essentially hydrodynamic. </jats:p>
