  1. Choosing Parker O-Rings If you're thinking about buying a new set of Parker O-Rings for your application, you've come to the right place. If you're unsure of what kind of seal to use, this article will help you choose the right one. Learn about polymers, compounds, hardness, and color coding. Then, find the perfect one for your application by visiting Niantic Seal. This distributor carries Parker Seal, Niantic Seal, and the Niantic Seal brands. Polymers O-Rings are generally made of polymers, such as Nitrile Rubber and Fluorocarbon Rubber. These are cured with a process known as vulcanization to produce long rubber molecules with improved elasticity, durability, viscosity, and hardness. The properties of each material vary slightly and are appropriate for certain applications. Here are some examples of the various materials used in O-Ring fabrication. Silicone rubber is a type of rubber. The polymer EPDM is widely used in hydraulic and brake fluid applications, and it provides

  2. excellent heat resistance. However, silicone O-rings are not suitable for contact with hydrocarbons. Silicone is a type of polymer used in many industries, including electronics, manufacturing, and pharmaceutical industries. Silicone O-Rings are highly versatile, with many applications and uses. Depending on the type of o-ring and the application, the material can be deformed. The deforming stresses cause the cross-section of the o-ring to become less circular. As a result, the ring flattens out and takes on the shape of the groove. When this stress is removed, the o-ring cannot recover to its original shape. It is therefore essential to choose polymers with high elongation and tensile strength. When choosing O-Rings, the selection process is very complex. It involves a number of factors, such as operating conditions, application temperature, sealing pressure, barometer, and size. O- rings are also available in a wide variety of materials, and there are several types of each. If you have specific requirements for your application, you can contact Manufacturer's Rubber & Supply. They can provide the type of O-Ring that you need to get the job done. Compounds There are a variety of compounds that are approved for use with Parker O-Rings. They are available for nearly every application. The most common are approved to AN, MS, and NAS specifications. However, some compounds are more suited to specific applications and are not suitable for general-purpose applications. This article will discuss the benefits of various compounds. Here is an overview of each. This article is not intended to replace your current O-Rings.

  3. O-rings are essential components of many different systems. They prevent leakage of liquid, gas, or steam from a connection, and protect against high temperatures and cryogenic conditions. There are several materials used in O-rings, including silicone and nitrile. O-rings are also often used to complement other seals, like gaskets, and are available in metric and standard sizes. Listed below are some examples of common types of elastomer and their properties. When a typical rubber elastomer O-ring is not suitable, a compound called Parker Praedifa Ultrathan (r) O-ring is an excellent choice. This material offers excellent heat resistance, oil resistance, and flame resistance. Its operating range is -20degF to 400degF and its hardness range is 50-95 durometer. It can be custom-colored or made from vegetable fiber. It also features low-radius edges and minimal twisting behavior. O-ring compounds are composed of base polymers and chemical additives. They are designed to provide excellent sealing performance for a variety of applications. There are three types of Parker O-Rings compounds: Nitrile Rubber (N674-70), Fluorocarbon Rubber (V1226-75), and Ethylene-Propylene Rubber (E540-80). Each of these compounds has different characteristics. For example, Nitrile Rubber (N674-70) exhibits excellent mechanical properties and is resistant to aging and gasoline. Hardness When it comes to choosing the right o-ring, hardness can make all the difference. Parker has manufacturing facilities around the world. It also partners with distributors, like AOP Technologies, to customize its products. Parker is known for its expertise in o-o-rings and their team of experts knows what works and what doesn't. If you're looking for a decades of experience and

  4. reliable o-ring for your specific application, Parker's experts can help you select the right one for the job. O-rings of 70-durometer hardness to offer the best combination of properties for most applications. They perform well under low pressures but are susceptible to extrusion under high pressures. O- rings over this durometer are rarely successful in dynamic applications. While they are less likely to extrude, harder materials are more resistant to abrasion and friction. The best way to choose the right hardness for your application is to match the fluid pressure with the maximum extrusion gap. Whether you need a high-quality O-ring for a hydraulic or pneumatic system, Parker O-Rings Albuquerque are the best choice for many applications. This versatile seal is available in a wide variety of materials and can be customized to fit your exact specifications. With more than 70 years of experience in sealing parts, Parker Hannifin is a global leader in the field. The company's O-Ring & Engineered Seals Division supplies many industries with high-quality o-rings. Parbaks(r) are another option for O-rings. They are designed to be resistant to abrasion and low pressure sealing. This compound is also capable of reducing wear and corrosion and allows for better metal-to-metal clearance between moving parts. Moreover, they are resistant to high-temperature environments. And while these are a good choice for applications with high-pressure needs, Parbaks are not ideal for use in the same environment as hard metal seals.

  5. Color coding O-Rings are available in metric and inch sizes. These are commonly referred to as the “N” or “O” size and are defined by their inside diameter and cross-sectional diameter. In the US, the most common-inch size is SAE AS568C, while the metric sizes are based on the ISO 3601-1:2012 standard. The BS sizes range from BS001 to BS932. PTFE O-Rings are designed for harsh environments and is compatible with a variety of chemicals. Their low absorption and gas permeability make them suitable for a wide variety of applications. PTFE O-Rings are difficult to apply, but have excellent flexibility. These are common choices for applications involving chemicals and other materials. But silicone O-rings do have a limited range of application options, which is why they're often not the best choice for dynamic applications. The purpose of color coding on O-Rings was to distinguish different materials, which could help in inventory control. Colored dots on o rings are not permanent but can be added to batches for easier identification. SSP offers color coding services to its customers. A few tips: In the past, a company had a problem with counterfeit O-Rings. But thanks to the safety concerns following the deadly plane crash, many companies have implemented changes to their production processes. Many of the O-Rings on the market now come with batch and cure date coding. Batch coding allows for accurate tracking of distribution. If you're not sure whether an O-Ring meets the standards, you can call the company to ensure that the product is safe for use.

  6. Applications When you're in the market for a new O-ring, it's important to know what you're looking for. You have to consider the application and the environment it'll be in. O-rings come in many different sizes and shapes, and they're commonly specified by their cross-section diameter and inside diameter. The most common-inch sizes are SAE AS568C and ISO 3601-1:2012. Other standard sizes are available globally and include BS001 to BS932. For more information about O-rings, consult the O-Ring Handbook. The guide features information about the various materials used to make these elastomers, including their chemical resistance, size, and cost. The O-Ring Handbook also provides details on the properties of the various elastomers used to make Parker O-Rings. For example, silicone is commonly used in medical applications, while fluorosilicone is more common in consumer products. Another type of O-ring is neoprene, which is a general-purpose elastomer. It is resistant to abrasion, flex cracking, and temperature variations. Fluorocarbon O-rings, meanwhile, are known by the trade name viton. These O-rings combine high-temperature resistance with chemical resistance, making them popular in the automotive and aerospace industries. You can find some FKM- based Parker O-rings in the Parker catalog, and you can even order a customized product for your company. Another great resource for selecting a Parker O-Ring is the Parker O-Ring Selector. This software program allows you to specify the material and size of the O-ring you need. By choosing a metric or imperial-based O-ring, you can be sure it'll have the desired performance for your project. The selection tool also covers

  7. imperial and metric standards, including hardness, dimensional control, and the required approvals and conformance.
