Calculating Actual Seal OD
Oversized seal OD allows for static interference fit in bore.
Adding the bore diameter to the press fit allowance will give you the seal OD.

Example
SE825-950-57SB
Housing Bore Ø = 9.500″
Metal OD = SB style has a metal OD – See SB
9.507″ minimum seal OD = 9.500″ housing bore Ø + 0.007″ minimum press fit allowance
9.511″ maximum seal OD = 9.500″ housing bore Ø + 0.011″ maximum press fit allowance
