Before designing any component that needs a gasket or o-ring, you must ask yourself these questions:

Are the tolerances you want in your design feasible for a rubber part?

Is the gasket or o-ring you design, a standard or non-standard size?

Is the material specification you chose more or less than you need for the application?

Does your gasket or o-ring design require a long lead-time to produce?

The answers to these questions could save you and your comapny time and money.
