General
An O-Ring seal is a means of preventing
unwanted leakage or loss of uid or gas (i. e.
media generally).
The O-Ring is the most popular form of seal as
it is simple to install and needs little installation
space. Given correct grooving and material
choice, the seal can be used for a very long
time within the rubber's temperature limits both
as a xed and as a moving part.
Description
An O-Ring is a closed circle usually made of
exible rubber (elastomer). The dimensions are
dened by the inside diameter d
1
and the cross-
section d
2
.
O-Rings are gaplessly and seamlessly made of
various types of natural rubber in hot injection
or press moulds by vulcanisation (cross-linking).
Manufacturing processes
Generally there are two different manufacturing
processes for the production of elastomer
O-Rings possible.
Compression process
(Compression moulding = CM process)
Injection moulding
(Injection moulding = IM process)
In CM the slug is manually inserted in the tool
(mould) before the two mould halves consisting
of an upper and a lower part are closed. As this
process is very time-consuming, it is primarily
suitable for manufacturing smaller quantities
and larger dimensions.
In injection moulding the slug is automatically
injected into the tool, which contains several
O-Ring cavities. This process is particularly suit-
able for large quantities and small dimensions.

Elastomers / rubber
Elastomers are polymers whose macro-
molecules have been linked with one another
to form a network with cross-connections. As a
result they show the typical rubbery and elastic
properties. The raw, non-networked product
is called rubber (caoutchouc), and is either
obtained from plants that yield the substance or
produced synthetically.
Vulcanisation results in the networking of the
macromolecules that is to say, the formation
of chemical cross-links between the polymer
chains. This has the effect that following the
termination of an enforced change of form,
elastomers will return to their original shape.
Materials
Technical rubber materials are structured on
the basis of a formula. In terms of chemical
resistance, the polymer is the weakest link of the
different constituent components as compared
with the media to be sealed off.
The choice of the right sealing material is often
hence restricted to basic polymer(s). In practice,
other inuences, such as the type of cross-
linking, the quantity of softener(s) used and the
type of ller employed may be of signicance
due to the recipe used. Polymer tolerability alone
is hence no guarantee of a reliable seal but is a
major precondition.
iNOTE:
The components of a
formula are generally
given in phr (parts
per hundred rubber).
This is the number
of parts of ller
material in relation
to 100 parts of rubber
(polymer).

The insulating effect of the O-Ring is created by
the elastic deformation of its cross-section (d
2
)
in an appropriately designed installation space
or slot. This means that the circular cross-
section is deformed to become elliptical, which
closes the gaps between the contact surfaces
and at the ground of the groove. This generates
a surface compression which is essential if the
insulating effect is to be achieved. The scale
of the deformation of the O-Ring diameter is
essentially dependent on the slot depth t. This
deformation is generally stated in the form of
a compression percentage, and is shown on
diagrams (you will nd these diagrams on the
pages 17, 20 and 22). The compression factor
is stated as the percentage by which the cross-
section d
2
is reduced when compressed in its
installed state. While the compression percent-
age remains the same, the deformation forces
increase as the cross-section (d
2
) increases. To
balance this out, as d
2
increases the compres-
sion percentage is correspondingly reduced.
If the medium to be sealed is under pressure
then additional pressure is exerted on the
O-Ring, which is benecial to the seal and
increases its effectiveness (surface pressure
increases).
The pressure pushes the O-Ring against the
groove ank opposite the source of the pressure.
The seal gap should be as small as possible to
prevent the ring from being pressed into it. In
radial seals there should be a tolerance pairing
of H8/f7, in axial seals H11/h11.
If not, or if higher pressures are anticipated, then
the material(s) chosen should ensure maximum
possible O-Ring hardness. Otherwise the
extrusion may occur and the O-Ring might be
destroyed.

Hardness is the resistance of a body to
penetration by a harder body of a specic shape
at a specic pressure over a specic time.
It is measured in Shore or IRHD (International
Rubber Hardness Degree). Comparable values
are determined using standard samples and
given in Shore A units. For measurements on
nished products IRHD is usual. Hardness
values of nished products deviate from those
of standard samples as their thickness, curved
surface or values measured at the edges are
not comparable and the metrology procedures
differ.
Measuring hardness at a cross-section
3 mm is only feasible in IRHD.
The picture below shows the penetrating body
(a pyramid stump) for hardness measurement
in Shore A (DIN 53505).
The picture below shows the penetrating body
(a sphere) for hardness measurement in IRHD
(DIN ISO 48 CM).
Hardness must be adjusted to e. g. pressure
load. The softer the elastomer the easier it is
deformed under pressure and pressed into
the gap to be sealed. On the other side softer
elastomer seals at low pressures and between
uneven surfaces due to its greater exibility.

The extrusion angle is largely determined by the
gap size g between the parts of the machinery. The
clearance depends on process, manufacturing
method, tolerances inuencing clearance, the
breathing of the parts under pressure and so on.
Excessive gaps can cause elastomer destruction
by extrusion. (gap extrusion)
O-Rings of 90 Shore A hardness permit slightly
larger gaps than standard-O-Rings of 70 ShoreA.
The table of guide values below of gap sizes for
standard elastomers are maximum values if the
components are centred.

Elastomers display optimal characteristics over a
wide temperature range and have a long service
life. Depending on the type of rubber used, there
are two temperature ranges in which this is not
the case.
Below a specic temperature known as the
glass transition temperature elastomers lose
their elasticity and mechanical stress resistance.
This process is reversible, i. e. after rewarming
the original characteristics return.
The upper temperature limit is determined by
the inuencing media. Permanently exceeding
this upper limit leads to destruction of the
elastomer and is irreversible.
Elastomer operating
temperatures
The permissible temperature range depends
on the material(s) used. It is important to
differentiate between permanent temperature
(constant or operating temperature) and
temporary temperature (peak temperature).
Thermal Characteristics
iIMPORTANT:
The operating temperature
depends on the media
to be sealed. 100 C air
temperature resistance
in an O-Ring is hence not
the same as 100 C oil
resistance.

Elastomer resistance to various media is of
major signicance. Two types of change occur:
physical and chemical.
Physical processes
These processes primarily lead to volume
change (swelling or shrinking) of an elastomer in
a medium. An elastomer can soak up a medium
and swell causing its technical properties
to change (e. g. lowered tear resistance or
hardness). This doesn't mean the seal ceases
to function.
However, excessive swelling may lead to the
installation space (groove) being overlled
and the O-Ring being mechanically destroyed.
Details of swelling values can be found in
relevant literature (e. g. COG resistance list)
or determined with practical experimentation,
which is a better option. Please contact us for
information.
Elastomer shrinkage is due to mixture
ingredients (e. g. softener) being separated
out of the medium (e. g. mineral oil). This may
lead to the seal pressure becoming too low or
non-existent and result in leakage. This must
be avoided at all costs.
Chemical aggression
Contact between the elastomer and the
medium can lead to the destruction of the
elastomer by the polymer chain being split. This
makes the material hard and brittle and it loses
its elastic properties.
Details of chemical resistance can be found
either in the materials specications, the
relevant literature or resistance lists (e. g. COG
resistance list). Chemical aggression must also
be avoided at all costs.

Chemical aggression

O-Rings must be laid in purpose-made grooves
if they are to seal properly. These installation
spaces are usually made with a rotary chisel in
a shaft or drill hole, or with a milling machine
in a workpiece. Groove geometry is usually
rectangular.
The illustration below shows a typical rectangular
groove with dimensions as recommended in
the relevant standards.
Determining groove depth (t)
The relationship of the O-Ring cross-section
(d
2
) to the groove depth (t) determines the
initial compression. The choice of groove
depth depends on its intended use. In static
use initial compression should be between 15
and 30 %. In dynamic use a smaller groove
depth and hence lower compression should be
chosen, usually between 6 and 20 %.
Determining groove width (b)
Groove width (b) is determined by the O-Ring
cross-section (d
2
) and the elliptical shape after
compression plus a free space in which the
medium can enter to guarantee even pressure
on the seal.
The main objective when selecting a size for
the groove width is to avoid groove overll. It
is therefore usually assumed when designing
the groove that the O-Ring should ll it by up
to 85 % so that there is space for expansion
(swelling, thermal extension), if needed.
Groove geometry

iIMPORTANT:
The groove depth has a
decisive effect on O-Ring
pressure.
iNOTE:
The groove width needs to
be adapted to a possible
volume increase of the
O-Ring.

There are various O-Ring installation options.
The direction in which an O-Ring cross-section
deforms depends on whether the ring is installed
in axial or radial alignment. A differentiation
is also made between radial deformation
"external seal" (internal groove, piston seal) and
O-Ring installation types
The seal types for installation purposes are dened as follows
Installation types
Defnition of installation types
"internal seal" (external groove, rod seal). Most
O-Rings are statically stressed seals. If the seal
is between machinery parts that move towards
to each other then the seal is dynamic. O-Rings
only present a technically optimal solution for
dynamic seals in exceptional cases.
Flange seals / axial sealing
Piston seals / radial sealing
Rod seals / radial sealing
Flange seal:
The groove is in the ange and is
screwed down by a cover plate.
Piston seal:
The groove is on the interior,
which is called a piston seal.
Rod seal:
The groove is on the exterior
which is called a rod seal.

Trapezoidal groove
Triangular groove
This groove shape is desirable if the O-Ring
has to be held during maintenance, service or
starting and stopping tools and machinery. It
can also be considered a form of valve seat seal
if gasses or uids e. g. ow in such a way as to
create a vacuum pressing the seal out of the
groove. Groove processing here is costly and
time-consuming. We therefore recommend its
use only with a cross-section of d
2
2.5 mm.
This groove shape is used in ange and cover
seals. In this type of installation space the
O-Ring has contact on three sides. However,
a dened O-Ring contact pressure is not
guaranteed. The manufacturing can also
present difculties as the tolerances specied
are difcult to meet and the seal function can
not always be ensured. The groove offers little
space for any swelling of the O-Ring.
If this groove shape is unavoidable then the
dimensions and tolerances in the following
table should be adhered to. The O-Ring
cross-section d
2
should exceed 3 mm if at all
possible.

Installation angles
To avoid O-Ring damage during installation
installation angles for drill holes and shafts
must be considered during the design stage.
The primary installation tips at a glance:
Never pull O-Rings over sharp edges
There must not be any dirt or residue
in the groove or on the O-Ring
Avoid any potential confusion with
other O-Rings (see colour coding if present)
Never use adhesive on an O-Ring
(possible hardening)
Do not go over drill holes
Whenever possible use installation grease/
oil. But the material must be resistance
against the grease (e. g. do not use mineral
oil/Vaseline with EPDM!)
Detergents/cleansers must be checked
for O-Ring compatibility.
Do not use any hard or sharp-edged tools
Short-term expansion of the O-Ring's inside
diameter by as much as 20 % is permissible
for installation purposes
O-Rings are very sensitive to sharp edges. All
edges over which the O-Ring is to be pulled
or against which it will press must therefore be
rounded or deburred. This is a major condition
for safe installation.

Surface roughness Surface specications depend above all on
the product's intended purpose and so no
generally valid limiting values for roughness
can be given. The table below gives values for
surface roughness that cover most possible
sealing uses. They are only to be considered as
recommendations.
Surface roughness
Surface roughness values
Explanations
The central roughness value Ra is
the arithmetic average of all prole
deviation from the centre or reference
line. The average roughness depth
Rz is the arithmetic average of the
individual roughnesses (prole heights)
of ve adjacent individual measurement
lengths Z1 to Z5.
The characteristic values Ra and Rz are
normally used when specifying surface
roughness in sealing technology. As
these are insufcient by themselves the
material proportion of the roughness
prole Rmr should also be determined.
The material proportion Rmr should be
approximately 50 to 70 % measured at
a section depth c=0.25xRz, based on
a reference line of C0=5 %.

PTFE O-Rings The installation space design for O-Rings made
from thermoplastic PTFE material is detailed below.
The following diagram shows the installation
space for static axial installation.
PTFE O-Rings are closed rings of circular
cross-section. Dimensions are characterised by
1
and the cross-section d
2
.
PTFE O-Rings are not form-compressed but
manufactured under tension and differ in this
fact from elastomer O-Rings. They can hence
be made in any size.
The following table provides more details about
the names and installation spaces as well as
the O-Ring.
The following table shows a selection of
dimensions for groove width (b) and depth (t)

iNOTE:
PTFE O-Rings have

in axially easily
accessible grooves.

Storage Seals stored for long periods may change their
physical characteristics. Such changes may
include hardening, softening, cracking and
other forms of surface degeneration.
This is due to one or more inuences such as
deformation, oxygen, light, ozone, heat, damp,
oil or a solvent. Basic instructions on storage,
cleaning and preservation of elastomer seals
are laid down in the DIN 7716 and ISO 2230
standards.
ISO 2230 contains advice on storing rubber
items. The table below gives the maximum
storage periods split into three groups.
Elastomer storage periods
Heat
Storage temperature for elastomers should
preferably be in the + 5 C to + 25 C range.
Avoid direct contact with heat sources such as
radiators or sunlight.
Moisture
Relative humidity should be below 70 % in
the storage space. Extremely damp or dry
conditions should be avoided.
Light
Elastomer seals should be protected from light
when stored. Direct sunlight and strong articial
light with a UV content in particular are to be
avoided. We recommend covering windows in
storage spaces with red or orange materials.
Oxygen and ozone
If possible elastomers should be packaged or
put in airtight containers to protect them from
circulating air.
Deformation
Elastomers should be stored in an untensioned
condition if possible. Large O-Rings can
be stored coiled to save space. If the inside
diameter d
1
> 300 mm, the O-Ring may be
looped over once (i. e. in a gure of 8). It should
never be bent.
Certain conditions must be met when storing
rubber products.

Surface treatment
"Labs-free" O-Rings
O-Rings can be subjected to special surface
treatment e. g. to adjust adhesion, reduce
friction or simplify installation.
The following benets may be accrued
depending on the individual case and the
coating procedure used:
Better separation
Assembly simplication
Anti-adhesion effect
Friction reduction /
reduction of wear and tear
Silicone and paint cross-linking
malfunction prevention
Improvement in lubrication
characteristics
Stick-slip reduction
Reduction of breakaway force
Simplication of automated
installation
"Labs-free" O-Rings
"Labs-free" O-Rings are free of substances
which cause paint cross-linking malfunctions.
Such O-Rings are particularly suitable for
use in compressed air systems used in
painting engineering and above all in the
automotive industry. Elastomers may contain
substances which cause paint cross-linking
to malfunction. The causatory substances
can be released into the air or by contact with
elastomers and then land on the surface(s)
to be painted and cause irregularities. The
O-Rings intended for this use are hence
subjected to a special treatment to ensure
they are free of such substances.

This list uses a rating system to show the
chemical resistance of the elastomer products
we supply to different operating media. The
following data is based on tests and information
provided by our suppliers and customers.
Because of the different application conditions
and composition of the media, this data must
only be regarded as a guide.
Chemical resistance list
The data is nonbinding and must be checked
on a case-by-case basis.
With a view to the safe choice of materials we
recommend you carry out resistance tests under
the conditions of use. For further information,
please refer to our product datasheets or contact
our application technology department.

The ISO 3601:2008 standard
The new ISO 3601:2008 standard currently
consists of 4 parts:
ISO 3601-1:2008
"Inside diameters, cross-sections,
tolerances and designation codes"
ISO 3601-2:2008
"Housing dimensions for general applications"
ISO 3601-3:2008
"Form and surface deviations"
ISO 3601-4:2008
"Support rings"
In relation to O-Rings, only Parts 1 and 3 are currently
signicant, as Part 5 (ISO 3601-5:2008 "Suitability of
elastomeric materials for industrial applications") is still a
work in progress (status May 2012).

The following table gives an overview of dimensions and permissible tolerances. The exact
tolerance levels based on ISO 3601:2008 Class B for O-Rings with reference to general
industrial applications can be calculated using the following formula:
d
1
= [(d
1
0.95
x 0.009) + 0.11]
The upper and lower tolerance shown relates in each case to the minimum and maximum
values shown under d
1
in the left-hand column.
An example using the rst two values d
1
= 0.70 and 2.50:
d
1
= [(0.70
0.95
x 0.009) + 0.11] = 0.116 Result 0.12
d
1
= [(2.50
0.95
x 0.009) + 0.11] = 0.126 Result 0.13
