Parker O-Ring Engineering Guide

Use official Parker product data together with independent size, groove and tolerance checks.

Parker Hannifin's O-Ring & Engineered Seals Division publishes the Parker O-Ring Handbook and supplies standard and custom elastomer seals with application-engineering support.

Engineering focus

  • • O-ring handbook and design references
  • • AS568 sizes and compound selection
  • • Static, dynamic and face-seal guidance

Size and part-number context

Keep Parker part data and AS568 designations separate: a dash size defines geometry, while a Parker part number also identifies a commercial product and compound.

Material and compound context

Use official compound data for final chemical, temperature and approval decisions; generic FKM, NBR or EPDM family data cannot replace a compound sheet.

Use this brand data in a design review

  1. 1Identify the exact supplier part number, standard designation, material code and hardness.
  2. 2Enter the verified ID, cross-section and tolerances in the seal-specific calculator.
  3. 3Check squeeze, stretch, gland fill and extrusion without changing limits because of the brand.
  4. 4Confirm availability, certification and final compound data with the manufacturer or an authorized source.

Engineering independence

Supplier badges and partnership visibility are commercial disclosures only. They do not change dimensional closeness, engineering ranking, active criteria or qualification verdicts.
