This document specifies the housing dimensions for class A O-rings for general industrial applications conforming to ISO 3601-1, as well as housing dimensions for class B O-rings used on selected metric-dimensioned hardware, e.g. fluid power cylinder bores and piston rods. These O-rings are for use in general hydraulic and pneumatic applications without and with anti-extrusion rings (back-up rings). The dimensions of the O-rings (d1 and d2), size codes (SC) and tolerances conform to ISO 3601-1.This document also addresses different design approaches in industry, and this is reflected in the table structures for hardware dimensions. Using the O-ring as a starting point to design the optimal hardware dimensions is reflected in REF Table_tab_3 \r \h Tables 3 08D0C9EA79F9BACE118C8200AA004BA90B02000000080000000C0000005400610062006C0065005F007400610062005F0033000000, REF Table_tab_5 \r \h 5 08D0C9EA79F9BACE118C8200AA004BA90B02000000080000000C0000005400610062006C0065005F007400610062005F0035000000, and REF Table_tab_8 \r \h 8 08D0C9EA79F9BACE118C8200AA004BA90B02000000080000000C0000005400610062006C0065005F007400610062005F0038000000. Using fixed hardware dimensions (i.e. bore/rod) and choosing the most appropriate O-ring to fit is reflected in REF Table_tab_4 \r \h Tables 4 08D0C9EA79F9BACE118C8200AA004BA90B02000000080000000C0000005400610062006C0065005F007400610062005F0034000000 and REF Table_tab_6 \r \h 6 08D0C9EA79F9BACE118C8200AA004BA90B02000000080000000C0000005400610062006C0065005F007400610062005F0036000000.Housing dimensions for the O-rings intended for aerospace applications that are specified in ISO 3601-1 are addressed in REF Annex_sec_A \r \h Annex A 08D0C9EA79F9BACE118C8200AA004BA90B02000000080000000C00000041006E006E00650078005F007300650063005F0041000000.NOTE 1 It is expected that O-ring housing dimensions for special applications be agreed upon between the O-ring manufacturer and the user.NOTE 2 The term “housing”, in this document, is used to describe the groove or cavity, into which the O-ring is fitted, and the mating surface, which between them confine the O-ring.
