O-ring technical decryption!

The O-ring is a bi-directional sealing element. During installation, the initial compression of the O-ring in the radial or axial direction determines the initial sealing capacity of the O-ring. The force generated by the system pressure acting on the O-ring is its total sealing force; The sealing force increases with the increase of system pressure.

Under pressure, the shape of the O-ring resembles that of a liquid with high surface tension. The pressure is transmitted equally in all directions.
