    O-rings are round seals that prevent leaks, but wear over time. To replace an o-ring, its dimensions must be measured accurately. The document describes how to measure an o-ring's inside diameter, outside diameter, and cross-section thickness using a ruler and calipers. It also provides an equation to determine one dimension from the other two and explains how to measure a cut o-ring. The document is from a company that supplies hydraulic equipment and has stocked over 80,000 items for 50 years.

    How To Measure an O-ring


    W

    O.D. I.D.

    O-rings are round mechanical seals that keep gas or liquid from passing through an opening. Over time, these
    seals may wear out and require replacement. If you are planning to replace an o-ring, a good fit is critical. Also
    remember o-rings are measured in millimetres (mm).
    Place the o-ring on a clean, flat, level surface.
    Determine the inside diameter. Use a ruler to measure from one inner edge to another.
    To measure the outside diameter, use a ruler to measure from one outer edge to the other of the o-ring.
    Measure the cross section. Place the o-ring into a vernier calliper. Lightly clamp the jaws of the calliper
    onto the o-ring, but do not clamp too tight to avoid displacement.

    You can determine the third diameter of the O-ring with 2 diameters using the following equation:
    Outside Diameter (OD) = Inside Diameter + (2 x Cross Section).
    Inside Diameter (ID) = OD - (2 x Cross Section).
    Cross Section (CS) = (OD - ID) ÷ 2.
    If the o-ring is cut, measure the cross section (thickness) of the o-ring and the length.
    Convert Length to Inside Diameter: Length ÷ 3.142 = Circumference.
    Circumference - Cross Section = ID.
