How do you calculate an O-ring groove?

Groove Design: O-Ring Seals

1. Calculate the O-Ring groove dimensions. Using the table above, determine the maximum recommended gland depth for your application.
2. a. For a rod (shaft) seal:O-Ring Max Groove Diameter = Min Shaft Diameter + (2 x Recommended Gland Depth)
3. b.
4. c.

How do you find the volume of an O-ring?

Calculating Ring Volume

1. Importance of Ring Volume. One factor that may impact the strength of a brazed joint is the depth of alloy penetration into the joint.
2. Calculating Ring Volume.
3. Joint Volume = SD * 2πRtube * Cm.
4. Ring Volume = (πDwire^2)/4 * [2π(Rtube)]
5. Conclusion.

How much stretch should an O-ring have?

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 do you calculate the dimensions of an O ring?

With the O-ring calculator you calculate the groove dimensions for the use of a specific O-ring. You can also calculate O-ring dimensions for the use in a specific groove. These calculations can both be done for evaluation whether the O-ring is suitable for your application.

How does the O-ring groove calculator work?

Back to Tools O-ring Groove Calculator The O-ring groove calculator enables engineers to specify an O-ring groove for any given O-ring or vice versa calculates the best suitable size O-ring for any given groove. The calculator takes all relevant parameters into account like:

Where can I find Parker’s O ring calculator?

Parker’s calculators not only address standard O-ring sizes, but allow users to custom design O-ring glands and seals specifically for their application. To use these tools, visit parkerorings.com and select the Solutions tab. When access to these tools are note available, manual calculations can be performed using the following guidelines.

Is there a mobile inphorm O ring calculator?

Mobile inPHorm – Parker’s Design Tool & O-Ring Calculator O-Ring Design Procedure using Mobile inPHorm. Parker recommends utilizing our design tools (Mobile inPHorm and the O-Ring Selector)design software to guide the user through the design and selection of an O-ring and corresponding seal gland.
