Which O-Ring material is suitable for food and medical equipment?

Silicone O-Rings compliant with FDA standards are recommended for food processing, beverage, and medical applications due to their chemical resistance and sterilization compatibility.

Are your O-Rings suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications?

Yes, using FKM/Viton or NBR materials, O-Rings can withstand high-pressure and high-temperature environments depending on the selected material and application.

What are the standard tolerances for each O-Ring type?

Each standard (AS568, JIS, Metric) defines its own tolerances for ID, OD, and CS. Refer to the corresponding specification chart for precise tolerances.

Can I request custom O-Ring sizes?

Yes, you can provide required inner diameter (ID), cross-section (CS), outer diameter (OD), material, and quantity. Custom O-Rings can be manufactured according to your specifications.

How do I select the right O-Ring material?

Consider operating temperature, chemical exposure, pressure, and compliance requirements. NBR is good for oils and hydraulic fluids, FKM/Viton for high temperature and chemical resistance, EPDM for outdoor or weathering conditions, and Silicone for food/medical applications.

What is the difference between AS568, JIS, and Metric O-Rings?

AS568 uses Imperial sizing standard, JIS follows Japanese standards, and Metric uses millimeter units. Each standard provides precise dimensions and tolerances for different industrial applications.

What is an O Ring Gasket?

An O Ring Gasket is a circular cross-section seal used to prevent leakage of liquids or gases in mechanical systems.

Manufactured from durable materials like NBR, FKM, EPDM, and Silicone, O Rings ensure long-lasting performance in hydraulic, pneumatic, automotive, and industrial applications.
