So I wanted to look around for new o-rings for my ESR exhaust flange, and I found a whole lot of people talking about them, but I never saw anybody post any specific sizes. It was almost like a government conspiracy. Not that I have a problem with ESRs prices or availability, I just wanted to look for maybe thicker rings, or different (more expensive) materials.
So I'm going to share my thought and findings, because I couldn't find the information anywhere else.
The o-rings I got from ESR are a hair over 0.100" in width, and since 0.103" is a fairly common width for o-rings, I'm running with that assumption. It's either that, or assume they are metric, and I just don't think they are metric.
It's kinda tough to get an exact ID and OD on o-rings this large, because they don't hold a perfect shape at rest, they're kind of an oval. I tried measuring the largest diameter at rest, and the smallest diameter, and finding the average. I'm coming up with about 1.866. This is subject to a very high degree of error. This would mean the OD is about 2.072" (by calculation, not measurement)
My calipers don't fit exactly in the groove of my flange, but I believe I'm measuring a diameter of 1.942". I know I'm going to want my o-ring ID to be smaller, to ensure a tight fit. The width of my groove is about 0.120"
So I went through charts of o-rings, with the basic assumption these are standard size. 3/32 is a common o-ring size at the previously mentioned 0.103" width, and looking for the ID and OD to match closest to what I was measuring.
The end result is I believe these are a standard size #134 o-ring. Standard dimensions are 3/32 width, 1-7/8 ID, 2-1/16 OD. Actual listed dimensions are 0.103" width, 1.862" ID, 2.068 OD. These are just a few thousands off from my actual measurements, so I'm pretty confident.
