🔍 Key Concepts

• Piston ring belt vs. piston skirt – what each part does in a diesel engine piston • How thermal expansion and operating temperature differ at the crown/ring area versus the skirt • The primary purpose of the ring belt compared with oil control and structural strength

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which part of the piston actually carries and seals the combustion pressure, and which part mainly guides the piston in the cylinder? • Consider where the highest temperatures and gas pressures act on the piston, and how that affects how much material you want in that area. • Think about which option describes a design reason that is unique to the ring belt being narrower than the skirt, not just a general function of piston rings or pistons.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice describes a design reason for reduced diameter at the ring belt, not just a general piston function. • Check which option directly relates to thermal/expansion behavior in the hottest zone of the piston. • Eliminate any answers that describe things the rings themselves normally do, rather than why the belt’s diameter is made smaller than the skirt.
