How to Select the Right O-Ring Material for Your Application
How Do O-Rings Work?
A torus-shaped mechanical gasket, also known as a packing or a toric junction, is a round-cross-sectioned elastomer loop intended to be seated in a groove and squeezed during assembly between two or more pieces, producing a seal at the interface. Establish the Operating Conditions: Determine the temperature, pressure, and chemical exposure that the O-ring will experience during operation. Include the highest and lowest temperatures, as well as the maximum and minimum.
