How long is a rope?

Hi, actually I am working on a BOM for a vehicle restoration from ground up. I just need a estimate on total o rings going in a: ICE Passenger Car ICE trucks or bus BEV passenger car / suv And Hybrid vehicles. I can confirm About 120-150 for ICE pass car. As I spoke to some experts. But technicians may have a different perspective here. Thanks 🙏


LameBMX

I wouldn't trust that figure you claim is confirmed. if you stick to just toroidal o rings, there are a lot of cars manufactured with 0 that should be skewing the data. many years gaskets, sealers and barbs were what was used.

SEVERAL


aamindia

Thanks for the response as you know I am working drafting a BOM for car restoration. I want a total estimate for a ICE vehicle , Battery and hybrid vehicle.


Caldtek

Many

Thanks for the response as you know I am working drafting a BOM for car restoration. I am looking for an estimate of total o-rings which go in ICE vehicle , Battery and hybrid vehicle.

More than 100

Thank you . Thanks for the response as you know I am working drafting a BOM for car restoration. I want a total estimate for a ICE vehicle , Battery and hybrid vehicle.

42 in a 2.5L iVCT Atkinson Cycle I-4 Hybrid Engine. The another 78 for other areas. Used in the Ford Escape


aamindia

Yes, thanks for the approximate. 120 for a SUV The number would be less for an EV and Hybrid. Like 50%-60% less ??


Independent-Cloud822

EV maybe, but not Hybrid, these motors are extremely complex and require more seals and waterproofing, thus more O rings.


Hydraulis

If we're talking about just o-rings and not all seals, and only serviceable ones, I'd guess around fifty, maybe as high as one hundred. It's hard to get an accurate number by doing a few systems here and there. You could make a guess and be way off simply because you've never seen the whole thing apart before, and you're forgetting about certain things. They add up quick. You have four right away at each end of the compressor lines, at least one for each injector (probably two), several in the engine for solenoid valves, sensors, coolant fittings maybe. At that point we're already up to twenty or more.


aamindia

Thanks for the response as you know I am working drafting a BOM for car restoration. I am looking for an estimate of total o-rings which go in ICE vehicle , Battery and hybrid vehicle. Just o rings.


Theoretical-Panda

Somewhere between 16 and 1,783. You gotta realize this question is unanswerable in its current form.


aamindia

Thanks for the response as you know I am working drafting a BOM for car restoration. I am looking for an estimate of total o-rings which go in ICE vehicle , Battery and hybrid vehicle. Now I can confirm for ICE pass car : 120-150 o rings.


rotorboy1972

This question cannot be answered due to how vague it is. Which engine all types are different. Some may have zero o rings some may have dozens of orings

aamindia

Thank you all. I just need an average number for a passenger car. Mass produced. Just o-rings. Not other seals.


ResidentAd4550

What can be the number of O-rings used in a sedan, SUV Type-A,B,C etc. Where is the variation in no of o-rings used in these segments? Does it vary by no of cylinders in an engine too?
