The Importance of O-Rings in Industrial Applications
How Do O-Rings Work?
An O-ring, also known as a packing or a toric junction, is a torus-shaped mechanical gasket; it is a round-cross-sectioned elastomer loop designed to be seated in a groove and squeezed during assembly between two or more elements, establishing a seal at the interface.Identify the Operating Conditions: Determine the temperature range, pressure, and chemical exposure that the O-ring will be subjected to during its operation. Make sure to take into account the highest and lowest temperatures, maximum and minimum
