How do you size an O-ring groove?
Based on the cross section (CS) of your O-ring, you will choose the corresponding O-ring groove depth and O-ring groove width dimensions….Welcome to our O-ring Groove Design section.
| O-ring CS | L | G |
|---|---|---|
| 0.07 | 0.055 | 0.095 |
| 0.103 | 0.088 | 0.146 |
| 0.139 | 0.121 | 0.193 |
| 0.21 | 0.186 | 0.286 |
Is a seal the same as a logo?
Logos are a shortcut that represent an organization’s promise to its stakeholders. Logos are a vessel into which you can pour meaning, whereas seals have a default meaning.
How much should an O-ring stick out?
To provide an effective seal, the O-ring’s inside diameter (I.D.) must be smaller than the piston groove diameter, so that the O-ring is slightly stretched, fitting snugly in the groove. This stretch should be between 1%-5% with 2% as the ideal in most applications. A stretch greater than 5% is not recommended.
How deep should a groove be for an O-ring?

How are static seals applied to the gland?
In a static seal application their is little to no relative motion between the parts of the gland that come in contact with the O-ring. Static seals are commonly categorized according to the direction of the squeeze that is applied to the O-ring. The two basic directions of squeeze are axial and radial.

Which is the best seal for a dovetail gland?
Seal Types & Gland Design 13 In this application, O-ring squeeze is primarily axial in direction (valve operation exerts force on top and bottom seal surfaces). To avoid tearing or nicking, the use of O-ring lubrication is recommended while installing the O-ring into the dovetail gland.
What should be included in the design of a gland?
Numerous factors go into the appropriate design of a gland/groove including but not limited to static or dynamic applications, pressure conditions, fluid characteristics being sealed, and tolerances of both the o-ring and groove. The o-ring cross-section in your design will determine all your subsequent dimensions and specifications.
