The two-part ring K 81145 is a robust clamping and alignment component used in the exhaust piping system of the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. Designed as a split construction, it allows for easier installation and secure fastening around exhaust pipe joints without requiring full disassembly of the system. Engineered to withstand high temperatures, vibration, and thermal expansion, this ring ensures tight mechanical stability and proper alignment of exhaust sections. Its durable design minimizes leakage risks and mechanical stress at connection points, contributing to the reliability and serviceability of the exhaust system in demanding marine and industrial environments.
