ATR Spectroscopy can be used for distinguishing release agents on O-rings. During the O-ring manufacturing process, O-ring molds are coated with release agents or the release agents are imbedded in ...

For more than 60 years, engineers specifying seals and customers using them have accepted the arbitrary rule that the maximum amount O-rings will swell in most applications is a 25% change in volume.

An O-ring’s primary function is to restrict the movement of fluid or gas, such as prevention of fluid from leaking from a location, or prevention of fluid communication between locations, or sealing ...

The first step links quite closely to the design stage for these plates. Choosing the size and material for your O-ring is a vital step, as it will determine the methods required further down the line ...

O-rings and guide rings are both used on hydraulic cylinders, but they handle different tasks. O-rings are often the first choice for engineers because of their flexibility and performance in static ...
