  • Causes of O-Ring Failure
    Like any device subject to judgment in design, or to human error during installation, O-ring seals are liable to failure.
  • How to Install O-rings
    O-rings are a vital tool for ensuring the effective operation of numerous vehicles, appliances, and other everyday items. Proper O-ring installation creates a strong seal, allowing the product to function efficiently without leakage. While they may seem simple, O-rings actually serve an important
  • Understanding O-Rings
    There are a variety of O-rings on the market today which vary widely from manufacturer to manufacturer, the source of the materials used, and even from lot to lot. An O-ring is a round solid rubber seal that, when compressed between two surfaces, blocks the passage of liquids or gasses. O-rings
  • O-ring Materials Guide
    Named for their standard circular shape, O-rings are versatile elastomer gaskets that form a tight seal between two mechanical components. However, while O-rings largely look alike and function similarly, there are actually key distinctions that determine where an O-ring may be used. Chief among
  • Troubleshooting O-Ring Failures
    Like any device subjected to errors in installation or exposure to high stresses, O-rings too are liable to failure. Different materials of O-rings have different shelf lives. Shelf life for materials like natural rubber, polybutadiene and polyurethane (millable) usually have a shelf life of five
  • Guide to O-ring Selection
    O-rings are elastomeric and donut-shaped gaskets designed to create fluid-tight seals between mated parts within a fluid system. Although simplistic in design and function, these components perform a critical role. When used correctly in fluid handling and processing systems, they ensure process
