How do you size an o-ring groove?
Groove Design: O-Ring Seals
- Calculate the O-Ring groove dimensions. Using the table above, determine the maximum recommended gland depth for your application.
- a. For a rod (shaft) seal:O-Ring Max Groove Diameter = Min Shaft Diameter + (2 x Recommended Gland Depth)
- b.
- c.
Do o-rings come in metric sizes?
All o-rings can be described by either metric (mm) or standard (inch) dimensions. However, if the o-ring matches an AS568 size, that’s the best way to reference it since this is the most common standard here in the USA.
How are metric o-rings measured?
How to Measure O-Rings
- Place the O-ring on a clean, flat, level surface.
- Determine the inside diameter by using a ruler to measure from one inner edge to another.
- Use a ruler to measure the diameter, from one outer corner of the O-ring to the other outer corner.
- Finally, measure the cross-section.
What are metric o-rings?
A metric o-ring simply means that the size of the o-ring is defined in millimeters. Generally, metrics are used when the size needed does not cross over to one of the standard AS568 sizes.
Do groove rings come in half sizes?
We don’t make rings in half sizes but if you think you’re a half size, we recommend going down to the nearest whole size for all Solid, NFL, NCAA, Edge, Dimension, Custom, Zeus and Hero rings. Our rings will relax a little in the first couple weeks, so it should fit a tad snug when you first get it.
How deep should an O-ring groove be?

What do O-ring numbers mean?
The Hardness (75/75D or 90/90D): These numbers both represent the Durometer of the material, which is one of several measures of the hardness of a material. It will typically be a 70, 75, 80 or 90 for O-rings, although other hardness in materials are available upon special request.
How do I find the right size O ring?
O-Ring Size The size of an O-ring can be determined by measuring the diameters and the width of the cross-section. The measurement you will need to include are the internal diameter (ID), outside diameter (OD), and the cross-section width (CS).
What do O ring numbers mean?
Should I size up for Groove ring?
Are Groove Rings True To Size? Groove Life rings are designed to be snug on your finger, although they recommend that if you are purchasing one of their anti-stretch rings, that you order one size smaller for an optimal fit. We went with a size 11 and the fit was a bit loose, so we recommend ordering a half size down.
What size are O rings?
The standard sizes used by Parco and the other major O-ring manufacturers in the United States are defined by Aerospace Standard AS568. There are 369 standard sizes of O-rings with inside diameters ranging from 0.029 to 25.940 inches and cross sections ranging from 0.040 to 0.275 inch.
How to measure an O-ring size?
Steps to follow for an accurate measurement of O-ring dimensions: Place the O-ring on a level, flat surface. Measure the inside diameter (ID), from one inner edge to the other, using a ruler. Using the ruler, measure the outside diameter (OD), which is the distance between the two outer corners.
What is size O-ring does the Petrel use?
What size o-ring does the Petrel use? The name of the o-ring used is AS568-112. The size of this o-ring is 1/2″ ID by 3/32″ width. This is the same o-ring used in the majority of DIN regulators (not Apeks however).
How are O rings sized?
O-rings are measured in millimeters. Place the O-ring on a clean, flat, level surface. Determine the inside diameter. Use a ruler or calipers to measure from one inner edge to another. To measure the outside diameter, use a ruler or calipers to measure from one outer corner of the O-ring to the other outer corner. Measure cross section. Place the O-ring into a vernier caliper.
