As the name implies, these O-Rings are used to seal Straight Threaded Tube Fittings. As with other O-Rings in static application designs, they make a seal between two mating components. Unlike most O-Rings, they are not completely housed in a rectangular groove or gland. The threaded male tubing fitting

Vesconite Bearings is exploring new engineering design methods, including reducing or eliminating grooves, where possible, in industrial and marine applications.
Vesconite’s bearing materials are internally lubricated so, when replacing traditional materials, Vesconite is challenging engineers to explore designs that remove redundant or superfluous grooves for cooling lubricant or water.
For instance, Vesconite

The oil and gas industry poses some of the most challenging seal applications for any seal designer. This is largely due to the varying chemical compatibility of fluids, and extremely high temperatures. The fluids often contain solids, which tend to be extremely abrasive. And applications are usually at high rotary speeds with extreme pressures.
This combination creates PV values (pressure x velocity) often reaching the limits of the seal materials. On top of these extremes, as seal designers

A component’s reliability and service life are top priorities for wind turbine manufacturers. This is especially true for main shaft seals, which are exposed to powerful forces. In addition, larger shaft diameters have prompted adoption of new, more stringent operating requirements. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has succeeded in developing a new seal that reliably prevents leaks from the grease-lubricated main bearings used in conjunction with these shafts while tolerating strong shaft runout.

Custom Seals from Gallagher Fluid Seals
While you could buy seals made with the size and materials of industry standards, sometimes the performance may not be up-to-snuff. Whether you have a static or a dynamic application, each one has its own unique traits and characteristics. Rather than finding a product that "fills the needs" of your specific application, wouldn't it be more prudent to create the perfect solution?
Using custom-engineered seals from GFS, specific to your application,
