Gland Design: Nominal 3/8 Inch Cross Section for Compression-Type Seals
AS4832B
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) offers gland details for a 0.364 inch (9.246 mm) cross-section gland (nominal 3/8 inch) with proposed gland lengths for compression-type seals with two backup rings over a range of 7 to 21 inches (178 to 533 mm) in diameter.
The dash number system used is similar to AS568A. A 600 series has been chosen as a logical extension of AS568A, and the 625 number has been selected for the initial number, since 300 and 400 series in MIL-G-5514 and AS4716 begin with 325 and 425 sizes.
Seal configurations and design are not a part of this document. This gland is for use with compression-type seals including, but not limited to, O-rings, T-rings, D-rings, cap seals, etc.
Rationale:
Two corrections required on pg. 12; Table 6: The Cylinder Bore ØA or Piston Rod ØB, On Chrome, Uncoated Steel and Hard Anodized Surfaces, Elastomer Cell value is incorrect. Currently is 8-2 (µin), Correct values are: 8-12 (µin). Second correction, the top right cell in Table 6, Gases (Note 7), should read: Gases (Notes 5, 6).
