O-Rings Design Guidelines, Specifications, Materials An O-ring, also known as a packing, is a flexible gasket in the shape of a loop; it is a elastomer with a round cross-section designed to be seated in a groove and compressed during assembly between two or more parts, creating a seal at the interface. Gland Depth x Groove Width (area of the gland) must be larger than the cross section area of the o-ring (Pi x R^2). Otherwise many bad things will happen to your design. Make sure the squeeze% is sufficiently high enough to seal, but low enough to allow dynamic movements.

The proper o-ring size is a fundamental aspect of proper o-ring performance. Whether your application conforms to U.S., Japanese JIS, British BS, or Common Metric sizing for o-rings, these o-ring size charts will help you locate the right o-ring size. If the o-ring, quad-ring, x-ring or square-ring you need doesn't fit these standards, custom and non-standard products are available for most materials with no tooling or setup fees.
