O ring cross section shapes.

900 series o rings feature a round cross section. Until now o ring standards have left a gap between the 1 8 and 3 16 nominal cross sections. For low pressure applications the combination of a low modulus material and small cross section can help to reduce friction. Wherever possible use a backup ring on each side of the o ring.

Buna n and viton o rings can be used for sealing valves faucets flanges engines and more. The o ring may be used in static applications or in dynamic applications where there is relative motion between. By absorbing the tolerance stack up between connected surfaces in both dynamic and static applications it acts as a compact and reliable sealing device. D rings can be manufactured to standard o ring sizes as well as custom sizes for specific applications.

Each features a round cross section. Of an o ring gland is primarily influenced by the diameter of the mating surface. Nominal cross section o rings. Choose from our selection of metric o rings including oil resistant buna n o rings high temperature silicone o rings and more.

It is a loop of elastomer with a round cross section designed to be seated in a groove and compressed during assembly between two or more parts creating a seal at the interface. Please contact us if you are looking for a size not shown in the 5 32 group. It is a loop of elastomer with a round cross section designed to be seated in a groove and compressed during assembly between two or more parts creating a seal at the interface. In de signing this new group of o rings we left spacing in the part numbers to allow us to add additional sizes should they be required.

An o ring also known as a packing or a toric joint is a mechanical gasket in the shape of a torus. An o ring also known as a packing or a toric joint is a mechanical gasket in the shape of a torus. Ptfe backup o rings are designed to be used in conjunction with standard o rings to help prevent extrusion in high pressure applications or where extrusion gaps are excessive. Fda and nsf61 compliant o rings feature a round cross section and medium hardness.

Although the cross section of the o ring is seen as fairly arbitrary there are some distinct advantages to either a larger or smaller cross section o ring. In stock and ready to ship. It is used to prevent the loss of fluid or gas.
