Find the Right O-Ring for Your Application

We offer a wide selection of O-rings in a range of sizes and materials to support many sealing applications. Among the most common are AS568 O-rings, which meet SAE dimensional standards. Regardless of the ideal O-ring for your application, selecting the correct size is essential for proper fit and sealing performance.

To measure an O-ring correctly, determine the inside diameter (ID) and cross section (CS) of the existing O-ring or the gland where it will be installed. After identifying the appropriate AS568 dash size, use our Chemical Compatibility matrix to select the best compound for your application.

Tips for Specifying and Measuring O-Ring Sizes

  1. Use Standard Sizing When Possible: Leverage standardized sizes, such as those defined by SAE AS568, to simplify selection and ensure compatibility with existing hardware designs.
  2. Consider the Application: Factor in the application’s dynamic or static nature. Dynamic applications may require tighter fits and different groove dimensions to prevent movement and wear.
  3. Measure Accurately: Use precise, calibrated measuring inspection tools, such as calipers, to determine the dimensions of the groove or shaft the O-ring will seal. Be sure to account for any potential manufacturing tolerances.
  4. Consult Compatibility Charts: Consult size compatibility charts or contact experts like Sealing Devices for guidance on selecting the optimal O-ring size for your specific application.

Sealing Devices offers over a million O-rings in standard and non-standard measurements. We work with leading suppliers such as Parker and Freudenberg to stock popular sizes and source harder-to-find options. Our applications engineers are available to help you identify the right size, material, and sealing solution for your application.

 

Our O-Ring Materials

Choosing the right O-ring material is critical for sealing performance, chemical compatibility, and long-term reliability. At Sealing Devices, we offer O-rings in a wide range of materials and compounds to support different temperatures, chemicals, and operating environments, including but not limited to:

  • Perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) - Exceptional resistance to high temperatures and aggressive chemicals, making it a strong choice for demanding sealing applications.
  • FKM Viton(r) - Excellent chemical resistance, reliable high-temperature performance, and good compression set resistance.
  • Fluorosilicone (FMVQ) - Good resistance to fuels, oils, and solvents, along with strong resistance to ozone, sunlight, and weathering.
  • Neoprene - A cost-effective material with good ozone resistance and fair resistance to petroleum-based oils.
  • Silicone - Well-suited for dry heat applications and offers excellent resistance to sunlight and ozone.
  • Buna-N (NBR, nitrile) - Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, greases, hydraulic fluids, and petroleum-based fluids.
  • Ethylene Propylene (EPDM) - Good resistance to steam, hot water, alkalies, alcohols, and many automotive fluids.
  • AFLAS(R) - Strong chemical resistance for demanding industrial and automotive applications.
