ORing Application Functional Description
An oring is a simple and versatile ringshaped packing or sealing device with a circular cross section,
from which the "O" in its name is derived. Orings function as compact and reliable sealing devices by
absorbing the tolerance stackup between closely mated surfaces in both dynamic (moving) and static
(stationary) applications.
An oring seals by blocking any potential leak path of a fluid (liquid or gas) between two closely spaced
surfaces. The oring is generally installed in a machined groove in one of the surfaces to be sealed. As
the two surfaces are brought together, forming a gland, they squeeze the cross section of the oring.

Static Sealing
Most ORings are used in static service (the ORing and metal surfaces remain relatively fixed). They may
be applied as face seals or radial seals. In face seal applications, the ORing should seat against the low
pressure side of the groove.
Dynamic Sealing
The ORing moves relative to the mating surface. A moving seal may be further classified by the type of
motion: reciprocating, oscillating, or rotating. The greatest number of dynamic seals are used in
reciprocating service in cylinders, valves, and linear actuators. Oscillating motion is encountered in
swivels and valve stems. When an ORing is used on a rotating shaft, it should be limited to light duty
where the shaft speed is low and some fluid bypass is acceptable.
Durometer Selection
70durometer hardness should be used wherever possible as it offers the best combination of properties
for most ORing applications. Softer compounds stretch easier and seal better on rough surfaces. Harder
compounds offer greater abrasion resistance and resistance to extrusion.
