h = 0.7*b

Number of piston rings

There are no strict rules for deciding the number of compression rings. The number of compression rings in automobile and aircraft engines is usually between 3 to 4. In stationary diesel engines, 5 to 7 compression rings are used. The number of oil scraper rings is usually between 1 to 3.
It is preferred to provide more thin piston rings than a small number of thick rings. It has the following advantages: (a) Thin rings reduce frictional loss and wear of the surface. (b) More number of thin rings has better sealing action than a few thick rings. (c) Thin rings occupy less piston length. (d) More number of thin rings provides better heat transfer from the piston top to the cylinder
