Typical O-ring and application. 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 round cross-section, designed to be seated in a groove and compressed during assembly between two or more parts, forming a seal at the interface.
The seal ring and mating ring are in intimate contact, one ring rotates with the shaft and the other ring is stationary. Either ring may be rotating or stationary. Also, either ring may be made of hard or soft material. These two rings are machined using a process called lapping in order to obtain the necessary degree of surface finish and ...
Obturating rings are common in artillery, where the steel or cast-iron casing of the shell is too hard to practically deform to provide a tight seal for the propellant gases. An obturating ring which is called driving band made of a softer material is the standard solution for that problem.
A Wills Ring or Cooper Ring is a form of all-metallic O-ring seal. They are used for extremely arduous service, such as sealing the head gasket of high performance piston engines . Hollow, metallic Wills Rings are used as they have better springback than yielding soft metal seals and higher temperature limits than elastomer O rings.

Elon Musk was pushing for an audit of Fort Knox to make sure gold is still there. Donald Trump promised to do just that, but his Treasury Secretary says it's "present and accounted for."
The O-ring cavity was not designed properly which let to the pressure concentrated to a small section of the O-ring. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ginnidorka (talk • contribs) 19:16, 23 April 2009 (UTC) I think the failure was due to grubby, corrupt, pork barrel politicians. Having O rings was unneccesary, an inferior design.
A circlip (a portmanteau of "circle" and "clip"), also known as a C-clip, snap ring, or Jesus clip, [1] is a type of fastener or retaining ring that consists of a semi-flexible metal ring with open ends that can be snapped into place into a machined groove on a dowel pin or other part to permit rotation but to prevent axial movement.
