How to Measure O-Rings
- Place the O-ring on a clean, flat, level surface.
- Determine the inside diameter by using a ruler to measure from one inner edge to another.
- Use a ruler to measure the diameter, from one outer corner of the O-ring to the other outer corner.
- Finally, measure the cross-section.
How much smaller Should an o-ring be?
To provide an effective seal, the O-ring’s inside diameter (I.D.) must be smaller than the piston groove diameter, so that the O-ring is slightly stretched, fitting snugly in the groove. This stretch should be between 1%-5% with 2% as the ideal in most applications. A stretch greater than 5% is not recommended.
How Do You measure o-ring thickness?
O-rings are measured in millimeters. Place the O-ring on a clean, flat, level surface. Determine the inside diameter. Use a ruler or calipers to measure from one inner edge to another. To measure the outside diameter, use a ruler or calipers to measure from one outer corner of the O-ring to the other outer corner.

Are O-rings measured by ID or OD?
O-Rings have three different measurements: inside diameter, outside diameter, and cross-sectional thickness. Inside diameter (I.D.) is measured from one inner border to the other with a measuring device (ruler, measuring tape, PI tape, etc.)

Are o-rings sized by ID or OD?
The best way to size an o-ring is by measuring the CS (cross-section) and ID (inside diameter). For measuring the cross-section, it is best to use a caliper, a.k.a. micrometer. If you don’t have one available, various other sizing tools can be used to get a close estimate.
