Incorporating a great deal of ‘sealing expertise’, the calculator even considers the complexities of compression, seal expansion and groove fill, whilst enabling the user to add notes to the results. The benefits of having this easy to use calculator are considerable, giving certainty of design and substantial timesaving.



Well received by engineers globally since its launch in 2005, it has now been updated inline with the needs. New features make the program even more versatile and user-friendly.

 

Enhancements in the latest update include:

  • Design recommendations for a broader range of materials including perfluoroelastomers
  • Warning messages when there are input errors or deviations from design recommendations
  • Operating temperatures for elastomer groups take into account cross section changes
  • Linear thermal expansion coefficients are included as preset values which can be overwritten
  • Design recommendations are available at the click of an i-button

 

The O-Ring Calculator is available free of charge for on-line use on this website through their registration area, which gives access to other enhanced services including:

  • Powerful electronic catalog –With innovative interactive quote facility
  • Versatile CAD service - Makes drawing production easier
  • In depth product detail – Industry leading catalogs on-line
