I have a doubt.
how do you select the cross-section dia of o-ring. this seems to the starting point in designing the o-ring glnd.
Thank you.

O-ring
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An O-ring, also known as a packing, or a toric joint, is a mechanical gasket in the shape of a torus; it is a loop of elastomer with a disc-shaped cross-section, designed to be seated in a groove and compressed during assembly between two or more parts, creating a seal at the interface.

So to start designing the o-ring you have to know the parameters of the 2 other parts which your going to place the o-ring in between.

First thing is whether you need O ring for static or dynamic application.
Then only you can select O ring.
Cross section can depend upon how big is gland and shaft dia.
