In its most basic form, o-ring seals work by forming a groove or channel between two surfaces/components pressed or joined. The more internal pressure given to this joint, the more the o-ring is distorted inside its groove, which can enhance the total sealing force up to a point, but it can cause the seal to break if the pressure exceeds a particular threshold, or if the load is more dynamic. To fulfill its duty, you must strike the correct balance between o-ring material, size, and working environment.
Key Features:
- To prevent gases or liquids from escaping unintentionally, they are only employed to enhance the seal between two other components and make them more leak-proof.
- A form of a gasket, with the difference being that o-rings are typically in a high-pressure setting, where a standard cork, paper, or rubber gasket would most likely fail, as opposed to a cork, paper, or rubber gasket.
