| The Seal Design section, is organized to assist users in designing seals for o-rings or choosing o-rings for specific seals. The user has several seals to choose from which cover standard o-ring designs. These seals can be designed for specific o-rings or an o-ring can be selected for a seal of specific dimensions.
|
|
| The O-Ring Troubleshooting section includes photos of O-Rings damaged from chemical, thermal, or mechanical attack. By understanding the cause of O-Ring failure, proper selection of an alternative elastomer or seal design can help improve seal life.
