Using metal objects to remove O Rings can cause damage to the housing and equipment which then create a leak path that affects the integrity of the seal O-rings work similarly to gaskets and glands, also forming a tight seal between components or machine parts by sitting in a groove cut into one of the mating surfaces. Note: As a rule of thumb, the smallest dimension in the specification will be the o-ring cross-section, the largest dimension will be its outer diameter, and the intermediate value is its inner diameter.

Figure 5: O-ring measurement: Inner diameter (A), outer diameter (B), and cross-section (C) Determining o-ring material This testing device comprises of a tube containing a specific magnitude weight (Figure 6 labeled A). The weight descends a predetermined distance for each material, as shown on Figure 6. Proper lubrication of the seal before installation is a crucial step in the installation process that ensures the o-ring remains in excellent working condition for an extended period.The o-ring has a durometer of 70 Shore A. Shore A is a commonly used durometer scale to measure the hardness of rubber materials. The Shore A scale measures the indentation hardness of the material, which is the material's resistance to permanent indentation or deformation caused by a sharp object pressing against it. The higher the number on the Shore A scale, the harder and less flexible the material. A durometer of 70 Shore A means that the material has a medium hardness, with some resistance to deformation under pressure but still capable of some degree of flexibility. Gaskets are a type of mechanical seal that sits between two mating component surfaces, improving the performance of each while preventing leaks or ingress of pressurised/compressed fluids. They can be bought in large o-ring kits, as well as cut from long lengths of o-ring cord as and when needed, for improved long-term economy. Clean the o-ring and groove: The groove where the o-ring is installed must be clean and free from any dirt, debris, or previous sealant residue. Also, ensure the o-ring is clean and free from debris or damage. Use a clean, lint-free cloth to wipe the groove clean. O Ring Gauge– The instrument allows you to identify the size of almost any O Ring Seal and meets the BS1806 and AS568 Standards.

Lubricate the o-ring: Lubricating the o-ring and the groove with a compatible lubricant is critical to ensure it slides into the groove smoothly without any twisting or damage (discussed in depth later in the article). You use the Pi Tape from ERIKS to determine the inside diameter of an O-ring. Useful, as you can measure the exact size you need for your application. The tape has two scales; metric on one side and the AS sizes on the other side. O-rings are measured by their inside, outside, and cross-sectional diameter. O-ring measuring tools like rulers or calipers can be used for these measurements. What is an o-ring installation tool? High-viscosity silicone oil: High viscosity silicone oil is an ideal all-purpose o-ring lubricant. It is an incredibly efficient seal lubricant and can be utilized in temperatures between -54 𐩑C - 204 𐩑C (-65 𐩑F - 400 𐩑F). Position the testing device over the o-ring and lift the weight to the topmost point of the tube. Then allow it to drop onto the o-ring.Proper o-ring installation ensures proper sealing of mechanical systems, preventing fluids and gasses from leaking out or entering unwanted areas. Installing an o-ring involves several crucial steps that must be performed carefully to avoid damaging the o-ring or compromising its performance. Here's a general overview of the installation process: They typically offer excellent dimensional stability and chemical resistance, ideal for use in stressful environments like chemical processing, food production, pharmaceuticals and plumbing. O-rings work under heavy compression, distorting slightly to fill the void and prevent leaks. They’re often made from elastomers like nitrile rubber and silicone but also come in plastics, metals and other materials. The o-ring is made of NBR; it has an inner diameter, cross-section, and outer diameter of 5.7, 1.9, and 9.5 mm, respectively.
