Service Conditions & Material Selector
Size Selector
Find the most suitable sealing material by specifying your minimum and maximum Operating Temperature, the desired Polymer Group or Seal Hardness.
The Advanced Material Selector allows you to specify your service conditions in even greater detail: For instance, you can select and combine the fluids which are relevant to your application by using the Filter by Fluid Compatibility search bar. This search and filter function searches a database of more than 2,500 different media.
You can also search for Certifications.
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.
