Short summary
This study analyzes O-ring sealing failure under low-temperature and high-pressure conditions using a finite element model. Results show that retaining rings improve sealing pressure and prevent extrusion. Low temperatures reduce contact pressure, increasing leakage risk. Larger O-ring diameters enhance sealing.
