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.
This standard provides the following: a The required surface finish criteria for the designed function of the parts b The definition of surface imperfections and defects that affect surface quality c The categories by location for each geometry for the permissible type, size and quantity of defects It also establishes the quantitative levels of acceptance by providing defined limits and inspection guidance for the acceptance or rejection of production parts This specification is applicable but not limited to, the surface quality of: T-Seals L-Rings Capped T Rings Capped L Rings Cammed Type Seals Cruciform Shaped Elastomers Pyramid (Dyna-Bak) Seals Square Ring Seals Quadruple Lobed Seals U-Cups Spring Energized U-Cups Molded in Place Metal Gasket Seals
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) defines gland details for scrapers for rod diameters from 1/4 to 15-1/2 inch (6.35 to 393.70 mm) inclusive, corresponding to AS568 O-ring Dash No. sizes -108/-111, -206/-222, -325/-349, and -425/-460. The gland details herein allow the use of more stable, efficient, and reliable scraper devices than MS33675 glands.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) contains data relative to the chemical nature of aerospace fluids and relates each to its empirical 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 can be referenced.
