| | About Seal Science Seal Science's success is based on our design and manufacturing experitse in rubber and plastics with special emphasis on materials, seals and seal systems. Seal Science's engineering, molding, stamping, machining, and specialty fabrication operations can provide you with quality products on a timely basis. WeVe got your solutions, call Seal Science 1-800-576-SEAL. How To Use This Catalog Seal Science has endeavored, in this catalog, to provide the design engineer and purchaser with information about its standard O-rings and compounds, ordering instructions, and data on most widely used seal glands. Standard AS-568 O-ring sizes are tabulated in Table IV, "Seal Science O-Ring Dimensions and Gland Sizes for Industrial Static Seals". The nominal seal section widths are: | |
| | | |
| | DASH NO. CROSS SECTION -OXX 1/16" -1XX 3/32" -2XX 1/8" -3XX 3/16" -4XX 1/4" | |
| | | |
| | Additionally, Industrial Reciprocating Seal glands are shown in Table V and Mil-G-5514-F glands are shown in Table VI. In most cases the O-ring sizes shown in Table IV can be used dash number - for dash number in the Table V and Table VI glands. Sections following describe materials available in Seal Science O-rings, design and assembly recommendations, and ordering imformation. An Engineering Applications Form is included as well as a list of other Seal Science seals. | |

| | Materials Table I shows a partial list of standard Seal Science elastomer and thermoplastic compounds with their recommended area of application. Table II shows a list of various elastomeric specifications for which Seal Science has compounds. Table III Shows plastic compounds. You may specify your Seal Science O-ring using any of the elastomeric compounds or thermoplastic (including TFE) compounds. When using TFE O-rings, use the TFE static O-ring gland recommendations shown in Figure 2. For any other thermoplastic O-ring compounds, always contact Seal Science for gland recommendations. Seal Science O-Rinqs The O-ring is the simplest, most economical, easiest installed, and most effective of all seals. The design engineer should consider the O-ring first for sealing applications and use other alternatives after the limitations of an O-ring disqualify it due to inability to withstand the environment or due to excessive related friction. Seal products shown on page 22 can often be used in these situations. Seal Science manufactures and maintains an inventory of the finest quality O-rings in all standard sizes and in most special sizes. In dealing with wide-ranging applications varying from the simplest to the most demanding, Seal Science has developed a strong expertise in the specification and molding of O-ring elastomeric compounds as well as the machining of O-rings from TFE and high-strength engineering thermoplastics. | |
