Parker o-ring sizing program

O-ring groove design guides offer default dimensional guidance on the most basic o-ring groove design applications. The best o-rings are useless without the right groove design which becomes increasingly important the more demanding the application environment.

Review the general o-ring groove design considerations before moving onto the specific o-ring gland design type. Engineering support services are available for a fee for expert help optimizing critical applications. X-Ring Seals and high performance O-Ring material groove design follows the same principals as basic O-Ring applications, although require even more attention to design adjustments for specific application environments for optimal sealing performance and life.

Consultations with our engineering department is highly recommended for critical applications. Welcome to the world's largest database of specialty and standard sealing products. Request a Quote.

We welcome your feedback. Please let us know your experiences of using the Parker O-Ring Selector. We welcome any ideas or suggestions you may have, so we can continue to improve this new tool. The Parker O-Ring Selector. Fully integrated material and size selection Platform-independent and web-based Easy. This search and filter function searches a database of more than 2, different materials.

In the Hardware Configuration , you can choose between different sealing cases such as radial piston or rod sealing, axial sealing with internal or external pressure.. After selecting a material that fits your sealing application, you can continue by having the Size Selector calculate the O-ring dimensions and tolerances, considering even thermal expansion and volume swelling of the sealing element. The parameter dashboard in the Results section will immediately show you if the selected O-ring size is suitable for your application.
