1. INTRODUCTION
O-rings are highly precise circular sealing elements, which are efficient and economical at the same time and can be used for a wide range of both static and dynamic applications. O-rings are vulcanized in moulds and, due to their symmetric shape, they can be used as single as well as double seals. The size of an O-ring is defined by its inner diameter d1 x ring thickness d2 (figure 1). Sizes, materials, hardness and installing dimensions are defined by the DIN 3770 or ISO 3601 standard. All dimensions are given in millimetres.
d1 = inner diameter (mm)d2 = O-ring thickness (mm)
Material groups
The following table gives an overview of material groups of elastomeric substances with the option of choosing the material hardness (table 1). The following factors influence the decision on material and hardness: size of sealing joint, temperature, pressure, chemical exposure.
For most applications, the standard quality NBR 70 Sh is sufficient. For higher temperatures and chemical exposures, standard quality Viton FPM 80 Sh can be used.
Material hardness is given on the “Shore” or “IRHD” scales.
Please inquire for non-standard materials such as polyurethane, KALREZ, fluorosilicone, NEOPRENE -they can be delivered after the manufacturing plant is consulted.

Function and use
O-rings are sealing elements which, upon being subjected to pressure, function in both radial and axial directions. After pressure is applied to a system, the O-ring generates sealing power. As the operating pressure increases, so does the overall sealing pressure. In comparision to other sealing elements,O-rings have a number of advantages:
- easy installation- availability on stock - cost effective- wide range of use in both static and dynamic applications.
O-rings can be used in a number of industrial applications. Due to a wide range of compounds with different properties, O-rings can be employed to seal virtually all fluids and gases.
Fig. 2
Sealing joint
When subjected to pressure, the O-ring is pressed into the opposite side of the groove. To prevent the O-ring from being pressed into the sealing joint, which would result in the ring being damaged, it is advisable to choose O-rings with the largest cross-section possible for a particular application.
Under identical operating conditions and equal sealing joint width, an O-ring with a smaller cross-section is pressed into the (identical) sealing joint relatively more than an O-ring with a larger cross-section. To prevent the O-ring from being pressed into the sealing joint, a harder O-ring may be chosen or the O-ring can be combined with a back-up ring (upon inquiry, we can recommend the right size).
Material hardness
The suitable material hardness of O-rings depends on the width of the sealing joint and sealed pressure. The fol-lowing diagrams (figure 4) show the dependence:
The most important factors for determining the right O-ring hardness are the value of operating pressure and the width of sealing joint. For high pressures and wide sealing joints, it is advisable to choose harder materials to prevent the O-ring from being pressed into the sealing joint. If structurally possible, using a O-ring with medium hardness together with a back-up ring is a technically better solution as the compressive deformation is lower at 70 Sh than at 90 Sh.

Installation instructions
Given the functionality and quality of O-rings, they are most suitable for static application. For dynamic applications, there are certain restrictions which must be observed. It is important to comply with pressure and temperature limits, medium type, surface roughness, size of sealing joint and other parameters.
The following graphs show values for compression of O-rings for various applications. If these values are observed, sufficient contact surface necessary for good sealing peformance is ensured. In dynamic applications, these values must be lower due to higher friction.

2. DETERMINING THE RIGHT O-RING SIZE
It is always advisable to choose O-rings with the largest thickness (d2) possible as they have several advantages compared to O-rings with lower d2 values:
- lower abrasion which means higher service life- lower deformation- larger contact surface
To determine the dimensions of the groove and the inner diameter of the O-ring, proceed as follows:
- choose the highest possible thickness (d2) for your construction - dimensions of L1 and S grooves can be found in the tables for installing dimensions - the basic groove dimension is given for the main ring types: a) sealing on the outside da = Da - 2 x S b) sealing on the inside Db= db + 2 x S
- the inner dimension (d1) is determined according to the moulds list for the main ring types: - sealing on the outside: - the inner O-ring diameter should be identical or only slightly smaller than the
da groove diameter d1 = da < max. 6 % - it is recommended to lightly position the ring on the groove diameter
- sealing on the inside: - the inner O-ring diameter should be identical or only slightly smaller or larger than
the db piston rod diameter > max. 3 % d1 = db < max. 6 % - this ensures that the O-ring has the desired larger dimension on the outer diameter

Detailed groove construction
The grooves in which the O-rings are positioned should have a rectangular recess. Maximum allowed wall bevel is 5%. It is important that the pressure of the medium can spread along the whole S profile. To this end, is it necessary to determine the adequate size of the groove width L1 and the sealing joint on the pressure side. Because the O-ring material has higher heat expansion than metals, and to account for any swelling, the inner volume of the groove should be about 25% larger than the O-ring volume. To ensure that the O-ring does not get jammed or cut during assembly, it is necessary to take care that the bevel values (see fig. 6) are not lower than those stated in the following table (table 6).
3. STATIC SEALING - RADIAL DIMENSION - RECTANGULAR GROOVE
O-rings may be used as a static sealing element with radial compression, for example for sealing of valves, fittings, hydrualic or pneumatic cylinders. They can be employed for sealing both on the inside and on the outside. If, for reasons of design, the sealing joint equals “zero”, it is possible to seal pressures of 500 bar and higher. At high or pulsating pressure, or for larger dimensions of sealing joints which are results of the nature of the technical construction, it is recommended to use retainer rings.
Fig. 7
Fig. 8
If retainer rings are used, the groove width value must be larger corresponding to the added width of the retainer ring.
Bevel and radius - see table 6 and 7.
For pulsating pressure, this value must be taken from table 18 (dynamic sealing).

4. STATIC SEALING - AXIAL DIMENSION
Static sealing - axial installing dimensions - rectangular groove
O-rings are used as static sealing elements with axial deformation, for example for sealing of shafts or covers. At high pressures, it is important to make sure that the screws are sufficiently prestressed and that the metal parts are fitted tightly enough. This ensures that the sealing surfaces cannot disconnect under pressure and prevents occurance of gaps. If optimal construction is presumed, pressures of 1000 bar and higher can be sealed. If the pressure comes from the outside, it is necessary to choose O-rings with slightly smaller (about 1 - 2%) d1 inner diameter than the inner groove diameter d3. If the pressure comes from the inside, it is necessary to chose O-rings with slightly larger (about 1 - 2%) outer diameter than the groove diameter D3.
Installing dimensions see table 8
Static sealing - axial installing dimensions - trapezoidal groove
Trapezoidal grooves for O-rings are useful if the function of the sealed joint requires that it is regularly opened while the O-ring stays firmly attached in the groove. The dimensions of the O-rings have to be chosen according to the following formula for inner diameter of the O-ring: d1 = dm - 2 x d2
Static sealing - axial-radial installing dimensions - triangular groove
These installing dimensions are generally not recommended as they do not allow sufficient space for possible changes in the O-ring volume. Rectangular grooves are a more suitable alternative. Sometimes, triangular grooves are used to seal shafts or covers. For such aplications of O-rings in triangular grooves, the following table states the O-ring thickness (d2) values in relation to the bevel value b.

5. DYNAMIC SEALING
O-rings are not an entirely suitable sealing element for dynamic applications as the sliding movement at growing pressure makes necessary lubrication more difficult. This quickly leads to increased abrasion. Most of all, the service life depends on the following factors: presence of lubricating layer, pressure values, temperature, size of sealing joint, speed of sliding movement, medium type as well as the quality of surface areas of metal parts. Limits of 100 bar and 0,3 m/s should not be exceeded. If the sealing joint is rather larger in size, back-up rings should always be used on both sides of the O-ring. In most cases, more suitable sealing elements can be found for dynamic sealing.
If back-up rings are used, the groove width value must be larger corresponding to the added width of the back-up ring. L1 dimension tolerance - see table 17.
Hydraulic devicesWhen dynamic sealing is used for hydraulic devices, the lubricant type is one of the most important factors with regard to service life. Lubricating effect of mineral oils is substantially better compared to water or water - oil emulsions. The second crucial factor influencing the service life is the number and height of strokes. Given this, O-rings are more suitable for spindle of valve than for cylinders with high strokes and quick speed.
Pneumatic devicesFor pneumatic devices, the same principles as for hydraulic devices apply. Although the pressures in pneumatic devices are lower, sufficient lubrication is harder to achieve than in hydraulic devices. To achieve lower friction on acceleration, is is possible to install the O-ring as a floating ring when used for pneumatic devices. The groove depth S and width L1 must be larger than the thickness (d2).
Rotational movementsO-rings are generally not suitable for rotational movements as it is not possible to ensure sufficient lubricant supply to sealing surfaces. This leads to increased friction, local overheating and quick wear. In exceptional cases where no other sealing element can be used, it is recommended to install the O-ring on the solid part to avoid the impact of centrifugal forces. For most rotary applications, there are more suitable other sealing elements.
Installation bevels and diameters - see tables 6 and 7.

PTFE O-rings
PTFE O-rings can be used in the temperature range from -200°C to +260°C. Moreover, they are resistant to most of all chemical substances. Due to limited elasticity which also means greater prestressing force, PTFE O-rings should be only used for static sealing in axial groove constructions. However, they can also be placed in grooves which were originally designed for elastomeric O-rings. In such cases, it is necessary to take care that the PTFE O-ring is not stretched or packed too tightly during installation. For special cases which require the chemical properties of PTFE combined with the elastic properties of elastomeric substances, we can deliver PTFE enveloped O-rings made of Viton or silicone.
Groove dimensions for O-rings used for vacuum sealing
Take care that the O-ring fills the groove as tightly as possible so that no leakage occurs as a result of shrinkage of the elastomeric substance in the vacuum. Moreover, it is necessary to prevent the O-ring from moving in the groove. The processing of sealing surfaces should be carried out with the greatest possible care. For vacuum sealing, gas permeability of the O-ring material is a significant factor. This material characteristic depends on the nature of material and varies with temperature. Butyl and Viton are suitable materials for this sealing type; kalrez can also be used under certain circumstances.

Technical information Technical information
X-rings were primarily developed to limit the twisting of rings in the groove. The base is the square-shaped cross-section with ring grooves. The width and thickness of these rings correspond with the dimensions of the classical O-rings. Therefore, both types are exchangeable. The ring has a small touch surface for pressure up to 40 bars as well as less friction than the O-ring. The X-ring cannot roll away and therefore it will also not twist. An advantage of the X-ring over the O-ring is only the fact that it is more advantageous for radial movement if it is not possible to use shaft seals. The life cycle is dependent upon the quality of the surface of the friction surfaces.
