The Mueller gauges look decent, but still out of my budget for the time being
The most important thing is that I have the right idea on how to establish the correct dimensions, before I start cutting steel. I'll improve how I measure as I do this more often. Hopefully I'll be doing this more often!
The X-ring is stiff enough, I decided to try measuring it without a cone gauge. Though what I wish Santa would bring me is an optical measuring system for size, roundness & surface roughness. Other applications for that
The catalog numbers are not exactly the same as what I'm seeing on my desk...
Nice handbook! Has quite a bit more info than what I've found so far. That & I didn't know Parker has 200 plus compounds. The outfit I've been buying from only has around 30 actually in stock. I started reading the dynamic design section & had to stop because this project will never get finished...
I've made a few parts with o-ring grooves, but I had always just 'winged' the dimensions & mostly have been getting away with that
But now that I'm designing an assembly that requires a bit better precision, I've realized that I've never really understood the specifications listed for specific...
