Foreword
This revised British Standard has been prepared under the direction of theMachinery and Components Standards Policy Committee. It revises andsupersedes BS 1806:1962 which is now withdrawn.
In view of the continued strong demand for an inch series of “O”-rings it has beendecided to revise this standard rather than prepare an extensive amendment ofthe 1962 edition. Inch dimensions have been retained throughout and metricconversions should be based on BS 350.
In this revision the range of “O”-rings has been extended to embrace all the sealslisted in British Standard M 48 and also a majority of the sizes listed in SAE Aerospace Standard AS 568A:19841). The dimensional tolerances on the internaldiameter B have in many cases also been increased to reflect currentmanufacturing practice.
It is stressed that the dimensions specified in this standard, although providingthe necessary basis for standardization in the manufacture and application of“O”-rings, should not be regarded as providing all the information required for
design purposes. Attention is drawn to the desirability of consultation betweenusers and manufacturers of “O”-rings, when a particular application of this typeof seal is being considered.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of acontract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunityfrom legal obligations.

This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have hadamendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on

1 Scope
This British Standard specifies the dimensions of
elastomeric “O”-rings which are toroidal in shapeand are used for sealing components against ingressor egress of fluids under dynamic and staticconditions.
The standard also specifies the shape anddimensions of five types of associated housinggrooves for the rings when used at pressures notnormally exceeding 1 500 lbf/in2 (100 bar2)). Limitsfor imperfections are not specified in this standardbut information is given in the note to clause 2.
NOTE 1 At pressures exceeding 1 500 lbf/in2, or when thediametral clearances of the grooves are in excess of thosespecified in this standard, it is recommended that “O”-rings
should be used in conjunction with anti-extrusion back-up rings.NOTE 2 The titles of the publications referred to in thisstandard are listed on the inside back cover.
2 “O”-rings
NOTE Surface imperfections. It is important that “O”-ringsurface imperfections should be such that they do not affect thesealing properties. Acceptable limits of defined and assessedimperfections on elastomeric toroidal sealing rings are specifiedin BS 6442.
2.1 Dimensions
The dimensions and the tolerances of the “O”-ringsshall be in accordance with Table 1 to Table 5.
2.2 Material
“O”-rings shall be manufactured from elastomericmaterials that are compatible with the fluidcontained by the seal, i.e. that the properties of thematerial are not altered by chemical interaction.
NOTE 1 Means of assessing the compatibility of hydraulicfluids with elastomeric materials are specified in BS 4832.
NOTE 2 “O”-rings are normally supplied in nitrile rubber butmay also be produced in other elastomers, e.g. silicone,fluorocarbon.
2.3 Seal size number
“O”-rings shall be identified by the seal sizenumbers given in Table 1 to Table 5.
3 Housing grooves
3.1 General
The profiles, dimensions and tolerances of thehousing grooves shall be according to the type ofsealing application as follows:
a) diametral sealing, Figure 2(a) and Figure 2(b)and Table 6;
b) static face sealing, Figure 3 and Table 7;
c) triangular housing of static face sealing, Figure 4 and Table 8.
3.2 Tolerances of nominal housing diameter
The tolerances associated with diameter C or D3) shall be calculated with respect to the tolerance
specified for radial depth F given in Table 6 and anachievable tolerance for the groove diameters c andd, in accordance with Figure 2(a) and Figure 2(b).
3.3 Extrusion gap
To maintain an acceptable extrusion gap, thetolerances of the diameter of the mating parts shallbe selected with respect to the following:
a) tolerance of the nominal diameter, C or D3),calculated in accordance with 3.2;
b) the maximum total diametral clearance G (see Table 6), in accordance with Figure 2(a) andFigure 2(b).
3.4 Lead-in chamfer
To facilitate assembly and to prevent damage to“O”-rings, components over which the “O”-ringpasses during fitting shall incorporate a smoothlead-in chamfer. All associated corners shall beradiused.
NOTE Details are shown in Figure 2(a) and Figure 2(b) anddimensions are given in Table 6.
3.5 Surface texture
The surface texture of the housing groove andassociated surfaces, in accordance with BS 1134-1,
shall not exceed the following values:
2) 1 bar = 105 N/m2 = 102 kPa.3) BS 5242-1 specifies tolerances and classes of surface texture for the surfaces of tubular steel cylinder barrels.
a) dynamic sealing surfaces 0.4 4m Ra
b) static sealing surfaces 0.8 4m Ra
c) non-sealing surfaces 1.6 4m Ra

NOTE 1 The full range of sizes given are suitable for static sealing.
NOTE 2 For dynamic sealing select only “O”-ring size nos. 004 to 012.a See Figure 1.b See Figure 2(b), Figure 3 and Figure 4.c See Figure 2(a) and Figure 3.d Since “O”-ring sizes nos. 001,002 and 003 are extremely small special care should be taken in the selection ofhousing sizes to achieve an adequate squeeze.
