JIS Sizes: Elevating Global Range

The Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) sizes offer more than just an alternative set of dimensions; they bring a level of standardization that is revered globally for its precision and quality. Each JIS size has rigorous specifications, including cross-section, inside diameter, and application.

JIS utilizes four primary series to delineate its range of o-rings. The “P” series is designed for dynamic or moving applications, while the “G” series is for static or fixed applications. Additionally, the “S” series encompasses special sizes that cater to unique industrial requirements, and the “V” series is for vacuum flange applications. This system allows for a precise selection of o-rings across various sectors and aligns well with our goal to provide universal solutions for many sealing challenges.

JIS o-rings are indispensable when dealing with Japanese-manufactured machinery or globally sourced projects that require conformity to multiple industrial standards. The high level of precision that JIS sizes offer is crucial in applications that require stringent quality control and dependable performance.
