o-ring handbook

An O-ring is a torus, or doughnut-shaped ring, generally molded from an elastomer, although
O-rings are also made from PTFE and other thermoplastic materials, as well as metals, both hollow and solid. This handbook however, deals entirely with elastomeric O-rings.

This handbook has some great sections for Engineers and product designers.

The handbook consists of the following sections:

• Elastomer Chemistry
• O-Ring Applications
• Static and Dynamic sealing
• Back-up O-Rings
• Fluid and Gas Compatibility tables
• Specifications (Mil, NAS, AMS, SAE and ASTM)
• O-Ring Size
