Worn O-rings shrink, swell, and flatten, which makes reordering tricky. 📏
Our new O-Ring Size Guide covers how to measure ID, OD, and cross-section, read AS568 dash numbers, and match Parker part numbers.
Tip: OD = ID + (2 × CS)

O-ring failing under normal conditions? Tensile strength is often the missing piece — it governs how well seals resist tearing & fatigue under motion or pressure cycling. More strength isn't always better; it's about matching material to the application.
