Description / Abstract:
This recommended practice provides the design criteria for
static elastomeric O-ring seal applications, axial compression
(face type) groove dimensions for aerospace metric O-ring sizes
specified in MA2010. The conditions considered to formulate the
design criteria are also described, e.g., seal squeeze and groove
volume to accommodate O-ring swell.
The following static, axial compression O-ring groove categories
have been incorporated:
a. Internal pressure
b. External pressure
Tables of O-ring groove dimensions are included based on the
design criteria specified herein. Dimensions in this document are
in millimeters, unless otherwise specified.
