Aavolyn # 60-45901-167, AVA47 TY450 Solid Rider Ring


Solid riders or wear rings, AAVOLYN Type 450, are required where the ring groove on the piston travels out into the valve area or cylinder counterbore. The solid, stretch on ring is designed to stretch over the piston diameter and then fit tightly on the ring groove. Proper strain and memory considerations are important to ensure that the solid ring remains tightly on the piston during operating temperatures and pressures. Pressure relief designs are available in high temperature applications where riders have a tendency to come loose on the piston in service. This allows gas, trapped under the ring, to bleed away, thus eliminating rapid wear of the ring and possible breakage.

Material
AVA47

Material Description
AVA47 provides exceptional long life in those applications where there are hydrocarbons or liquids flowing intermittently in the gas. Standard carbon filled PTFE rings depend on riding over a coating of PTFE on the rod or the cylinder to provide minimal ring wear. In applications where solids or liquids are present and tend to remove the coating provided by standard carbon filled, AVA47 is the material of choice. By adding anti-friction materials, excellent ring life is achieved along with eliminating wear on the piston rod, piston or cylinder wall.
Recommended Applications: Lubricated Service, Wet CO2, Natural Gas, Vinyl Chloride

AVA47 Application Profile.
AAVOLYN's AVA47 PTFE blend profiled by E.I. duPont.

AVA47 filled PTFE - This proprietary material is ideally suited for lubricated and mini-lube service, especially where solids and liquids are prevalent in the gas stream. Piston rings, rider rings and rod packing manufactured from AVA47 have outperformed the standard material available in the Natural Gas Market today.
