L = Approximate leak rate of the seal, std. cc/sec.F = Permeability rate of the gas through the elastomer at the anticipated temperature, std. cc cm/cm2 sec bar. (example: Butyl's permeability at 77oF with Acetylene is 1.26 x 10-8 std. cc cm/cm2 sec bar)D = Inside diameter of the O-ring, inches.P = Pressure differential across the seal, lb/in2 .Q = Factor depending on the percent compression and whether the O-ring is lubricated or dry (from figure 3 below)S = Percent compression on the O-ring cross section expressed as a decimal (i.e. for 20% compression, S = 0.20)
