O-RING NUT calculation | Design tools
Our calculation tool is suitable for the following materials:
FFKM (ECOLAST), FKM, NBR, HNBR, EPDM, SILIKON, FVMQ, FEPM, CR and ACM.
Important notes:
- PTFE and FEP coated O-rings should only be used as flange gaskets.
- PTFE O-rings have their own table values and therefore also a separate groove calculation. If you need support with the design of PTFE O-rings, please contact us.
Our tool for calculating an O-ring groove is based on the values in the ISO 3601 table.
There are basically two starting points:
- You know your O-ring and are looking for the right groove.
-> Fill in the “Line thickness” field and our tool will calculate the optimum groove for you. - You know your groove and are looking for the right O-ring.
-> Fill in the groove width/groove depth field and our tool will calculate the optimum O-ring cord thickness for you.
Definition of a flange gasket:
Flange gaskets are pressed axially by screwing a cover rigidly to the flange. With continuous connections between two pipes, two flanges can also be tightly joined together. Flange gaskets are non-moving (static) gaskets.
Definition of a piston seal:
The groove is located in the inner part of a piston, for example, and the O-ring inside is pressed radially (pressing line is at 90° to the axis).
Piston seals are very common in hydraulic cylinders, for example. Accordingly, the majority of piston seals are used as dynamic seals.
Definition of a rod seal:
Rod seals are sealing elements that separate components from each other in an axial direction. They are pressed in a radial direction and are mainly used in moving (dynamic) seals. Depending on the installation position, they have an internal or external sealing effect.
All values are given in millimeters [mm].
Static sealing = no movement
Dynamic sealing = movement
