Word origin

密封圈 (mìfēngquān, "sealing ring") combines 密 (mì, "tight") + 封 (fēng, "seal") + 圈 (quān, "ring"), naming a ring whose job is to keep a joint closed.

Usage tips

  • In everyday repair talk, naming this part identifies the likely source of a leak more precisely than naming only the bottle cap, valve, or pipe joint.
