Regardless of the materials used, the end result is the same: a high- quality seal for your machine. Here are some of the many uses of Parker O-Rings. Synthetic rubber provides excellent heat, oil, and chemical resistance. Operating temperatures range from -20degF to 400degF. Its hardness ranges from 40-90 durometer. Available in custom colors, synthetic rubber is an ideal material for a wide range of industrial applications. Other material options include Aflas(r) and vegetable fiber. Polymers that are resistant to high temperatures are often a better choice for aerospace applications. NBR and Viton(r) are common elastomers used in seals. They have good chemical resistance and are resistant to water, silicone greases, and ethylene glycol-based lubricants. Neoprene is another widely used elastomer in the sealing industry. It is one of the few materials that is self-extinguishing. Other polymers, such as chloroprene, are not as effective in extreme environments. Polyurethane, on the other hand, has a wide range of temperature tolerances. They are resistant to oxygen/ozone, petroleum oils, and chlorinated solvents. They can be used in hydraulic fittings, pneumatic tools, and firearms. They are not, however, suitable for water-based applications.

Their compounds are designed to protect against fluid, liquid, and gas loss and are designed to fit engineered glands. They can be used for static and rotary applications, and they complement other types of gaskets and seals. To get started, download the Parker O-Ring Handbook and begin experimenting with different combinations. You can order samples of different O-rings at a local Parker Sealing Technology Center. The primary considerations in selecting an O-ring material are its chemical compatibility, application temperature, and size. These factors determine which compound is best suited for a specific application. Considerations also include the cost, electrical properties, and tear resistance. If possible, conduct a field test to determine compatibility. You will be happy with the results. It will save you time and money. A Parker O-Rings compound is perfect for your next project!

4. Hardness There are three primary considerations when choosing a Parker O- Ring: the type of material, the pressure it is exposed to, and the hardness of the rubber. Generally speaking, the harder the material, the more resistant to damage. In general, the 70-durometer hardness is the most suitable for most O-Ring applications. Softer materials are easier to seal and stretch, while harder ones resist abrasion and extrusion better. The proper hardness can be selected by matching fluid pressure and maximum extrusion gap. Several tools are available for making the right choice. Parker provides a part numbering system that makes it easy to identify its products. The numbering system also helps determine the specific compounds, polymers, and hardness of each one. In addition, their sales team has extensive experience with all types of Parker o-rings. As a result, they can customize any product to suit specific requirements. Moreover, all of these tools make it easier to make the right decision and avoid wasting time and money on products that are not suitable for your purpose. The Parbak(r) order number corresponds to the 2-xxx series of Parker O-Rings. When used together with an O-ring, it reduces the clearance gap in the low pressure side. The combined hardness of the two rings results in a much higher pressure rating than the O- ring alone. Parbak(r) back-up rings from Parker Seal are moulded in a continuous circle of a hard rubber compound. These back-up rings are easy to install, as they stretch into place. The hardness of Parker O-Rings is the most important factor in deciding which type is best for your needs. Parker Hannifin uses 70- durometer hard nitrile elastomers for their standard O-rings. However, there are also 90-durometer O-Rings available for tube

5. fittings and adapters. Parker O-Rings are often made of Buna-Nitrile elastomer, and Buna-Nitrile has good resistance to water, oxygenated solvents, and sunlight. However, experts recommend that the material be avoided for applications that involve gasoline or hydrocarbon environments. Customizability The customization options of Parker O-Rings are endless. From standard sizes to AS 568 measurements, metric and imperial sizes, seal hardness, and more, you can find the right o-ring for your application online. You can even find o-rings in continuous molded cord. Parker has decades of experience in manufacturing o-rings and works with leading distributors such as AOP Technologies to create customized products to fit your specifications. When it comes to sealing pressure and temperature, PTFE-O-rings are a great choice. These o-rings are effective at low temperatures, extending maintenance intervals for critical equipment. The GFLT type, for example, can operate at -15 degrees Fahrenheit, while the dynamic type can withstand high temperatures of up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. They are also used in chemical and pharmaceutical applications. In addition to the flexibility of sizing and dimensional control, the customizable nature of Parker O-Rings is an essential factor for sealing applications. Whether you need a simple seal or a complicated seal, Parker has the solution to suit your needs. Our extensive guide to sealing applications includes the benefits and drawbacks of each material, as well as a selection of materials and geometries.
