JIS O-Rings

Japanese Industrial Standard O-Rings are another popular classification system used around the globe. Published by the Japanese Standard Association, these o-rings are also categorized using the metric system. JIS O-Rings are used in many different fields, but typically are implemented in Japan's semiconductor, automotive and machine tool industries.For more information, please see: Common O-Ring Materials, Comparison Properties Chart, PTFE Encapsulated O-rings, Material Shelf Life, and O-ring Groove Design Chart.

The O-ring is the most widely used seal in the industry. It is easy to install, may be used as a double-acting seal and can seal pressures of up to 800 PSI. With pressures over 800 to 2,000 PSI, backup rings should be considered for higher pressures.

The o-ring is typically used as a reciprocating seal, not for rotating shaft applications (Lip seals should be used for rotating shafts). O-rings are typically sized by their inside diameter and cross section, and are further specified by the type of compound used. For O-ring sizes other than standard sizes, specify the actual dimensions desired for the inside diameter (I.D.) and the cross section (W). There may be a tooling charge for such non-standards
