Of the many kinds of sealing technology available in products
manufacturing and machine design, the use of the o-ring is perhaps the most
common and extensive. O-rings are used in appliances found in our homes as
well as in heavy industrial machines like hydraulic cylinders and jacks.
They are also typically found in many types of hand tools like pneumatic
hammers, drills and air tools.
The selection of the right o-ring
sizes is of critical importance and the sizes of o-rings are determined by
its internal diameter as well as the diameter of its cross section area. The
o-ring, when installed into the mount, should seat nicely and with strict
tolerance within the recess of the mounting. The surface of the mounting
that comes into direct contact with the o-ring should be even so that
pressure on the o-ring is distributed evenly throughout. The o-ring, when
compressed, should exert a pressure against the contact surface of the
mounting of a value that is greater than the pressure of the fluid to be
contained. This is essential for the proper sealing of the fluid and ensures
that no leakage will occur. The selection of the o-ring should therefore be
made with the design and shape or size of the mounting contact surface into
consideration. The wrong size o-ring will result in sealing failure.
Environments where sealing components are subject to abuse include that of
extreme temperatures conditions as well as exposure to corrosive chemical
media. Elastomeric seals have to perform under the most demanding
conditions, and failure would have implications in terms of equipment
downtime, environmental consequences and safety of operation.
