be used for acceptance. Copy Table 5-4 and record calculations and readings.<br />

If readings are not within acceptable limits after replacing worn parts and correcting any piping<br />

misalignment, the piston rod assembly should be replaced.<br />

Piston Rings<br />

Most JGZ and JGU cylinders use one-piece angle cut filled Teflon piston rings. High-pressure<br />

cylinders use two-piece thermoplastic rings, reference Figure 5-29 on Page 5-43.<br />

Determining Ring Wear:<br />

<strong>Ariel</strong> recommends replacing rings when the end gap has increased to three times the new<br />

dimension. To measure the end gaps, insert the rings in the cylinders without pistons. (See<br />

Table 1-9 on Page 1-15 or Table 1-10 on Page 1-17 for new and maximum end gap dimensions.)<br />

Wear Bands<br />

Most JGZ and JGU pistons use one, one-piece angle cut filled Teflon wear band. High-pressure<br />

cylinders use two-piece thermoplastic wear bands, reference Figure 5-29 on Page 5-<br />

Since the wear band does not work as a sealing ring the maximum end gap is not important,<br />

but the minimum end gap is required. To measure the end gap, insert a new wear band in<br />

the cylinder bore without the piston. (See Table 1-9 on Page 1-15 or Table 1-10 on Page 1-<br />

17 for minimum end gap and new radial projection dimensions.)Wear band projection<br />

beyond the outer diameter of the piston is also important. Wear band projection can be<br />

checked by measuring piston to cylinder bore clearance at the bottom of the bore. This can<br />
