Yes , the steel(compression) ring goes on top ; see the related link to a video tutorial .
ALumnium Ferrous INsert PistonIt is a bi-metrallic piston, consisting of a body of aluminum alloy and a wear resistant cast iron inserted for the top grove. The top grove is fitted with a steel chrome in land ring. Which will give a enhanced piston life.

Slide one of the compression rings down into the cylinder and measure the gap with a feeler gauge.
Gently.Answer:Once the piston is removed from the bore the ring or rings are exposed. Each ring will have a gap or split in one place as it goes around the piston. This gap is spread open and the ring lifted off the piston.If you need to reuse these rings or the pistons they are for you use a special tool.If you don't care gloves are recommended and fingers will do the job.Careful! The rings can break when flexed like this and create flying sharp steel pieces!
You have to disassemble the entire engine, remove the piston and check the rubber ring around that piston.
The DNJ ring spec. information, printed on each compression ring (located next to the piston ring gap), is installed facing the top of the piston for both the top (#1) and middle (#2) compression piston ring slots. The oil control ring can be installed just like any other oil control ring in the bottom (#3) piston ring slot.
a piston ring is not calibrated. You just slide the new one in place

Normal piston have 2 compression rings and a 3 piece oil ring. Some aftermarket rings have a 2 piece zero-zap second compression ring to reduce blow-by.
one ring per piston, the pistons have a groove in it where the ring fits on.
You mean a piston ring. It seals the gap between the piston and the chamber in your engine
The purpose of a piston ring expander is to make it easier remove and install piston rings. Because of the low torque they use, they help to prevent damage to the piston rings.
