Global O-Ring and Seal

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) #ORings 👉 ow.ly/7uGy50ZT3k0

Markez® FFKM: a proven alternative to Kalrez® and Chemraz®, with the chemical, heat, and pressure resistance FFKM is known for. #FFKM #Sealing globaloring.com/blog/markez-…

O-ring sizing in one formula: OD = ID + (2 × CS) New guide: measuring worn rings, AS568 dash numbers, metric sizing & Parker cross-references. #ORings #Manufacturing ow.ly/wJc450ZFGys

Rotary shaft seal, oil seal, lip seal. Same part, different names. Our new guide covers material selection, lip designs, and common failure modes, plus when a shaft repair sleeve beats a full shaft replacement. #OilSeals #IndustrialMaintenance [link]

Standard vs. UL-listed o-rings: what's the difference, and when does it matter? #Manufacturing #OringSeals ow.ly/i9lQ50ZyElY

Aggressive chemicals? Strict cleanliness needs? Teflon® encapsulated o-rings pair a fluoropolymer jacket with an elastomer core for reliable sealing where standard elastomers fall short. #OringSealing #IndustrialSealing Full breakdown: ow.ly/1POc50ZruKS

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. ow.ly/ucqr50Zn0CU

O-ring groove design fails at the tolerances, not the nominals. Our free Groove Design Calculator checks squeeze, gland fill, and extrusion limits per Parker ORD 5700 — before you machine anything. → globaloring.com/o-ring-groov…

Connector sealing reliability comes down to three things: stable geometry, controlled compression, and consistent dimensions. Our latest blog explains how they work together. #Orings #EngineeringDesign 🔗 ow.ly/azK850ZflHC

Viton® (FKM) o-rings: up to 450°F, broad chemical resistance, 7 grades for every condition. We updated our full selection guide. #Viton #FKM #IndustrialSeals 🔗 ow.ly/JJbj50Z9qVO
