Alternative solution or improvement to this sealing design
(OP)
Hello All
Apart from what the functioning and conditions are. I'd like to ask you guys , if you could tell me whether this solutuon needs to be corrected to avoid leakages. Currently, the cover is to be screwed down up to the point that it doesn't press the O ring ( why ?)
while the o - ring installation is quite a nasty job, since the inside plating might be to high and the O ring might not slide at its correct position. Mean while there might occure other problems like the ovality of the container or the impreciseness of the threading.
Is there any improvement in the geometry of this design that could reduce the effects that I mentioned to reduce the leakage?

What do your tolerances and/or measurements of actual parts tell you, i.e. how much deflection of the o-ring occurs?
How much pressure are you asking for the seal to resist? The geometry at the corner (between "cover" and "container") is a path for an o-ring to extrude into and fail the seal.
