COME FUNZIONA
Checks basic circular O-ring geometry using squeeze, stretch and gland-fill percentage.
squeeze = (section - depth - gap / 2) / section; fill = ring area / groove areaIndicative geometry only. It does not replace compound selection, tolerances, pressure, temperature or design validation.
A 3.5 mm O-ring in a 2.8 mm groove gives about 20% squeeze before clearance.
