Piston rings data
Piston rings for an automotive engine are produced by a forging process. The inside diameter of the rings manufactured by the process is measured on 25 samples, each of size 5, for the control phase I, when preliminary samples from a process being considered 'in control' are used to construct control charts. Then, further 15 samples, again each of size 5, are obtained for phase II.
