The revised global O-Ring standard

摘要

ISO 3601, the standard covering O-Rings, the most commonly used seal, has been revised to meet American, European, as well as Asian needs. ISO 3601 consolidates the long established AS 568B inch standard with the existing metric ISO 3601 and importantly, as it retains its original designation, means modification of documentation may not be required. "Changes to the existing standard were needed to reflect what was happening in the market place," says Bernd Murthum, O-Ring Product Manager for Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, who is the convener on the ISO working group responsible for this latest revision of the ISO 3601 O-Ring standard.
