Gland details are described for rod diameters from 1/4 to 15-1/2 in, inclusive, corresponding to AS568 O-Ring Dash No. sizes -108/-111, -206/-222, -325/-349 and -425/-460.
This specification covers tetrafluoroethylene resin (hereinafter referred to as “TFE”) retainers intended for use in hydraulic and pneumatic system components as antiextrusion devices in conjunction with packings and gaskets (see 6.1).
This document establishes general gland design criteria for static and dynamic O-ring seal applications used in fluid systems and at fluid pressures common to the aerospace industry. Detailed discussion of design criteria and tables of recommended gland dimensions are contained in the documents listed in Table 1. S.I. unit conversions for U.S. customary units have been provided for reference purposes.
This document establishes standard gland design criteria and dimensions for dynamic radial O-ring seal applications and provides recommendations for modifying these glands in special applications. There are no provisions in this document for anti-extrusion devices.
Gland details are described for rod diameters from 1/4 to 15-1/2 inches, inclusive, corresponding to AS 568 O-Ring Dash No. sizes -108/-111, -206/-222, -325/-349 and -425/-460.
This SAE Aerospace Standard provides standardized gland (groove) design criteria and dimensions for elastomeric seal glands for static and dynamic applications. The glands have been specifically designed for applications using SAE AS568 size O-rings at pressures exceeding 1500 psi utilizing one or two anti-extrusion (backup) rings and applications at pressures under 1500 psi without backup rings. The glands have been sized to provide sufficient squeeze for effective sealing while at the same time limiting squeeze to allow satisfactory operation in dynamic applications. While specifically designed for standard size O-rings, these glands are also to be used with other elastomeric seals.
An attempt has been made to consider all features of seal ring design including configuration, materials, hardness, dimensions, surface finishes, surface treatment, leak testing, and general quality. In addition to this, allowable cylinder breathing and general quality requirements of mating hardware are discussed. Also, at the end of this report, there is a brief paragraph on other types of seal rings.
This document contains data relative to the chemical nature of aerospace fluids and relates each to its effect upon elastomeric components. Since the compatibilities of elastomers are determined by the compounding as well as the nature of the base polymer, the elastomers considered are limited to finished compounds for which material or performance specifications could be referenced.
The backup ring is defined. The various types designed for use with O-rings in MIL-G-5514 packing glands, and MS33566 and MS21344 universal fitting installations are described. Guidelines are included for selecting backup rings and backup ring materials. Backup ring installation procedures and precautions are described.
Gland details are described for rod diameters from 1/4 to 15-1/2 inches, inclusive, corresponding to AS 568 O-Ring Dash No. sizes -108/-111, -206/-222, -325/-349 and -425/-460.
The backup ring is defined. The various types designed for use with O-rings in MIL-G-5514 packing glands, and MS 33566 and MS 21344 universal fitting installations, are described.
The SLIPPER SEAL is defined and the basic types in current use are described. Guide lines for selecting the type of Slipper Seal for a given design requirement are covered in terms of friction, leakage, service life, installation characteristics and interchangeability.
This document establishes standard gland dimensions for static radial O-ring seal applications and provides recommendations for modifying these glands in special applications. No provisions are made in this document for anti-extrusion devices. SI unit conversions for U.S. customary units have been provided for reference purposes.
This standard controls the dimensional measurement of preformed packings or circular elastomeric packings. The inspection level, sampling plan, visual inspection for defects and certification or inspection records used to establish acceptability of preformed packings are not controlled by this standard.
