O-Ring Seal manufactured to DIN are dimensioned by the size table reproduced on this page. The standard fixes geometry and tolerances only; material and property class are assigned by ISO 898-1/898-2, and surface finish by separate finish standards.
DIN — Scope
DIN specifies the dimensions and tolerances of o-ring seal — iso / din (series 159). Material, property class, surface finish and packaging are governed by separate documents in the same standards family (for example ISO 898-1 for the mechanical property classes of bolts and screws).
Tolerance & Product Grades
DIN, alongside the related ISO / DIN entries on this site, specifies product grades (typically A or B for fine work and C for general engineering) and tolerance classes for the controlling dimensions. Choose the grade against the precision your application requires.

Companion Standards
DIN controls only the geometry of o-ring seal — iso / din (series 159). The mechanical strength is set by ISO 898-1 (bolts and screws) or ISO 898-2 (nuts); the surface finish is governed by separate finish standards (e.g. ISO 4042 for electroplating). For corrosion testing, the relevant document is ISO 9227 (neutral salt spray).
When to Specify DIN
DIN is still widely used in European mechanical engineering and as a cross-reference on legacy drawings; its ISO equivalent is preferred for new designs.
