Calculate O-ring groove
O-ring installation calculation
Optimum functionality of the O-rings can only be guaranteed if the O-ring groove dimensions have been precisely determined. Only then will the O-rings seal perfectly. KREMER has developed an Einbau-Berechnungstool to help you calculate the O-ring groove dimensions. You can use it for all conceivable O-ring dimensions.
With our programme, we can only provide you with general guide values for the groove dimensions or the O-ring dimensions for quick research. Further influencing factors must be taken into account in each individual case.
Beeinflussungsfaktoren der O-Ring Berechnung
Please consider the factors that can lead to considerable deviations in the calculated values in your design:
- contact with media (oils, greases, acids, ...)
- the operating temperature
We can best determine and calculate the functionality of an O-ring if the subsequent installation situation with all accompanying requirements has already been clarified during the Anfrage des O-Ringes and the determination of the planning data. Our application example shows very clearly how important this information is.
Our recommendation: Determine the exact calculation values before making an enquiry and pass on the installation purpose to the experts at KREMER so that our specialist consultants can possibly optimise them with their knowledge.

Correct use of the installation calculation
Please select either
- the cord thickness of your O-ring or
- the groove width or
- the groove depth of your static application (flange seal, rod seal, piston seal).
If you enter one of these values, the other values are automatically adjusted accordingly. This will give you the optimum dimensions.
