1 - DEFINITION - GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 - O-Rings The “O-Ring” seal is a circular ring with a round cross-section It is the simplest of sealing systems, combining: - maximum effectiveness,  - small space requirements, - low cost and - complete symmetry, reducing the risk of incorrect installation. The O-Ring may be used: - in either static or dynamic applications (low speed rotation or oscillating movement) - for applications ranging from cryogenics to high temperatures. - at pressures ranging from High Vacuum up to 2,000 bars. In order to make the best possible use of the sealing characteristics...

2 - HOW DOES AN O-RING WORK? 2.1 - OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLE OF THE O-RING When an O-Ring fitted into a groove is subject to the pressure of a fluid, it compresses itself against the seating surface that is located on the opposite side of the source of pressure. The seal acts as a wedge in the angle that exists between contact surfaces a and b. The seal is usually fitted in its groove with an initial deflection (the depth of the groove is smaller than the cross-section diameter of the seal). The contact forces caused by the change in the seal's shape make it possible to maintain the seal's effectiveness...

2.2.3 - TEMPERATURE-RELATED BEHAVIOUR • LOW TEMPERATURES At low temperatures, a slight contraction of the rubber, in combination with hardening, may cause leakage in a system. Compared to metals, rubber compounds have a high thermal expansion coefficient. These phenomena should particularly be taken into account when gasses are involved and when the initial deflection of the components is low. N.B: The hardening of rubber compounds in low temperatures is a reversible phenomenon. In other words, the rubber fully regains its initial characteristics when the temperature increases again. If the swelling...

3 - RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE SELECTION OF COMPOUNDS The compound should be chosen according to the following information : a) For the type of elastomer: b) For hardness - service pressure  - type of use - nature of the fluid(s) in contact  - temperatures in continuous and peak service (at seal level) - nature of the materials in contact 3.1 - STANDARD COMPOUNDS IN STOCK Four compounds are selected as standard for most applications. Nitrile (NBR) hardness 70 PB 701 Nitrile (NBR) hardness 80 PC 851 Ethylene Propylene (EPDM) hardness 85 EP 851 Fluorocarbon (FKM) hardness 80 DF 801 The majority of...

3.4 - CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY TABLE REMARKS Please note that operational conditions (temperature, pressure, friction, etc...), as well as combinations of several substances can modify, sometimes to a great extent, the aggressiveness of the fluids which are in contact with the seals. It is therefore recommended that tests be conducted before a final selection is made. (FOOD GRADE): Chemical substances whose name is followed by: “(food grade)” are those in contact with which it may be necessary to use a compound effectively meeting the "food grade" criteria. Please consult our services for applications...
