Engineering Disclaimer
Use the site's calculators and dimensional tables as reference and preliminary screening tools only.
No engineering certification
Results generated by this website are not a certification, approval, warranty or guarantee that a seal will perform in a particular application.
Standards and cross-reference
A dimensional match between two standards does not automatically establish interchangeability. Always check the applicable standard, designation, tolerances, material, hardness and installation requirements.
Groove design
Groove calculations shown on this site are preliminary geometry checks. Final gland dimensions can depend on pressure, temperature, motion, clearance, extrusion resistance, tolerances, lubrication and compound properties.
Verification
Before production use, verify dimensions and design decisions against the applicable standard, manufacturer documentation, drawings and engineering validation for the actual application.
