Precision rings, inc. is a custom manufacturer of seal rings. All metallic rings whether they are classified as piston rings or seal rings have some amount of leakage. A seal ring has better sealing capabilities than a piston ring. Typically, a seal ring is used in applications where leakage is critical. Types of seal rings include, but are not limited to, two piece and three piece ring assemblies. Piston rings are used when leakage is not as critical. When the ring is seated due to a differential in pressure, flow across the ring is restricted but not eliminated.
Please visit the Rings page in order to compare different ring types. Various ring combinations can be used in order to help reduce or eliminate leakage. Precision manufactures seal rings out of several different types of materials. Please visit our materials page to see a list of the most common types of materials used to manufacture seal rings.
