Picture

Note 1: Groove Depth = machined channel
Gland Depth = Groove Depth + Clearance

Note 2:  The following sizes are not normally recommended for dynamic service, although special applications may permit their use:

Note 3:  Clearance shown are based on 70 durometer materials.  The clearances must be held to an absolute minimum consistent with design requirements for temperature variations and should not exceed the values shown.

Note 4.  Total indicator reading between groove and adjacent bearing surface.  All surfaces and corners musts be free of tool marks and scratches.

L = Gland Depth

G = Groove Width
 

Clearance = ABS(( FD - PD ) / 2 )
Groove Depth = ABS(( PD - GD ) / 2)
Gland Depth = ABS(( FD - GD ) / 2)
ABS = Absolute Value

WARNING:

Gland Depth x Groove Width (area of the gland) must be larger than the cross section area of the o-ring (Pi x R^2). Otherwise many bad things will happen to your design.

Make sure the squeeze % is sufficiently high enough to seal, but low enough to allow dynamic movements.

Squeeze inches = O-Ring cross section diameter in inches - Gland Depth in inches

Squeeze % = Squeeze inches / Gland Depth in inches
