Doug, great post. I am at Barry's house, so i am having trouble
spelling. Can you give us some ideas on o-ring thickness relative
to the diameter of the surface to be sealed and the pressure
applied. Specificly, I am thinking of an example where a light
container is sealed. If the o-ring is too thick, it will require
much more pressure to seal than a thin ring, so may leak shallow.
Maybe you could explain this, since nobody believes me. When the
light goes deep, the containment integrity will then be the factor,
as you already mentioned. Go ahead, make my day. - George Irvine
