Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How do metric O-Ring sizes differ from AS568 (inch) sizes?
Metric O-Rings are specified by inner diameter and cross-section in millimeters, while AS568 sizes use a dash number system based on inch measurements.
2. Can MCD provide custom metric O-Ring sizes?
Yes, we offer custom metric O-Ring solutions, including non-standard sizes to meet specific application requirements.
3. Are metric O-Rings interchangeable with inch-sized O-Rings?
While some sizes may be close, direct interchangeability is not guaranteed. It’s best to use the size and standard specified in the original design.
4. What industries primarily use metric O-Rings?
Metric O-Rings are widely used in European and Asian manufacturing, as well as in industries with significant international collaboration or global supply chains.
5. How do I specify a metric O-Ring?
Metric O-Rings are typically specified by their inner diameter (ID) and cross-section (CS) in millimeters, e.g., 10 x 2 mm means 10mm ID and 2mm CS.
