AS568B O-Ring Data

Click this title (just above this text) and then follow the index links below or to the right for more dimensional data on the various o-ring series.

What I've shown here are some generally useable groove design data, but if you really want the whole story of oring seal design, this Parker handbook is the real authority.  Serious readers only.

The following tables give the gland dimensions for static and dynamic (reciprocating) applications.
