How to use this calculator
Open the Link Seal Calculator and enter values using the units shown.
Formula and assumptions
The calculator uses the visible formula and the assumptions you enter. It does not silently retrieve private records or guarantee a real-world outcome.
Worked example
A pipe OD of 200 mm in a 300 mm opening has a 50 mm radial annular gap; the link count then depends on the selected seal model and pitch.

Important limitations
Manufacturer link sizes, actual compressed pitch, sleeve tolerances, pressure rating, pipe movement, material compatibility and installation rules determine the final product selection.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the Link Seal Calculator calculate?
- Estimate the annular gap, seal centerline circumference and approximate modular-link count for a pipe passing through a round opening.
- Can I change the assumptions?
- Yes. Enter values that match your situation and review the displayed assumptions and limitations before using the result.
- Is the result guaranteed?
- No. The result is an estimate and should be independently verified before any medical, legal, financial, academic, engineering or purchasing decision.
