Fluid power systems - O-rings - Part 2: Housing dimensions for general applications

ISO 3601-2:2016 specifies the housing (gland) dimensions for class A O-rings for general industrial applications conforming to ISO 3601-1, as well as housing dimensions for class B O-rings used on selected metric-dimensioned hardware, e.g. fluid power cylinder bores and piston rods. These O-rings are for use in general hydraulic and pneumatic applications without and with anti-extrusion rings (back-up rings). The dimensions of the O-rings (d1 and d2), size codes (SC) and tolerances conform to ISO 3601-1.

Housing dimensions for the O-rings intended for aerospace applications that are specified in ISO 3601-1 are addressed in Annex A.
