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 SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) is applicable to military and commercial aircraft. It specifies the dimensions, tolerances and size codes (dash numbers) for use in glands per MIL-G-5514 where squeeze at low temperature is often insufficient to provide a leak-tight seal. The dimensions and tolerances specified in this standard are suitable for any elastomeric material. This standard should not be used as a part standard, therefore no part numbers like AS5798-001X shall be created. Each dash number, which should be appended to an appropriate drawing or standard number, identifies one size O-ring only. An AS5798 sized O-ring is intended to replace an AS568 sized O-ring of the same dash number. An X suffix is part of the dash number to signify oversize. Temperature limitations of 275 °F (135 °C) and coefficient of thermal expansion of 9.0 × 10-5 unit length per °F (1.6 × 10-4 unit length per °C) were used for swell calculations.
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) specifies the dimensions, tolerances and size codes (dash numbers) for O-rings with a larger cross-section than those to AS568, for use in glands per MIL-G-5514 where squeeze at low temperature is often insufficient to provide a leak-tight seal.
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.
