Download The Aerospace & Defense O-Ring and Seal Specification Manual

Your comprehensive guide to reliable, compliant sealing solutions for mission-critical applications.

In the high-stakes aerospace and defense sectors, system integrity, safety, and mission success depend heavily on durable sealing materials. Whether you are dealing with space-based technology or hypersonic systems, your seals must be capable of managing extreme heat and pressure.

Specifying the correct O-ring or seal can significantly reduce maintenance requirements and support long-term system durability. To help engineers, procurement teams, and defense contractors navigate these complex requirements, Pneu-Draulics has developed The Aerospace & Defense O-Ring and Seal Specification Manual.

This comprehensive guide details Military Specification (Mil-Spec) requirements for O-rings and metal-bonded seals, offering a deep dive into technical specifications.

What You Will Learn Inside:

• Aerospace O-Ring Sizing: Understand the AS568 standard for reliable sealing performance and interchangeability across aerospace, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems.
• Elastomer Material Specifications: Discover a spec-by-spec guide to elastomer materials like EPDM, Fluorocarbon (FKM/Viton), and Perfluoro elastomer (FFKM), chosen for their ability to withstand extreme pressures, temperatures, and aviation fuels.
• Mil-Spec Decoding: Gain clarity on essential defense specifications, including MIL-PRF-25988, AMS 7276, AMS-P-83461, and the NAS 1611/1612/1613 series.
• Gland Design Standards: Review essential aerospace gland and groove design standards, including AS4716, AS5857, and AS6235, to ensure proper volume fill, compression, and extrusion prevention.
• Defense Contractor Compliance: Learn exactly what defense contractors require from suppliers, including material traceability, lot control, and navigation of the Qualified Products List (QPL) process.
• Testing and Storage Protocols: Understand the requirements for aging tests, temperature cycling, and proper storage considerations dictated by SAE AS5316 and SAE AS568.
