Use this o–rings to keep your tunnels, plugs, tapers / stretchers etc. in place. Important! An o–ring is supposed to be tight when worn on a plug, tunnel or taper.
Additionally, what are rubber O rings used for?
O rings are used to block a path which may otherwise allow a liquid or a gas to escape. The o ring is placed into a groove to secure them in place, and then compressed between two surfaces.
Moreover, can you stretch O rings?
To provide an effective seal, the O–ring’s inside diameter (I.D.) must be smaller than the piston groove diameter, so that the O–ring is slightly stretched, fitting snugly in the groove. This stretch should be between 1%-5% with 2% as the ideal in most applications. A stretch greater than 5% is not recommended.
Is nitrile a silicone?
Acrylonitrile-butadiene, commonly known as nitrile or NBR, has excellent chemical resistance, similar to silicone. However, the two materials differ in many of other properties.
What is a silicone O ring?
Silicone o–rings are excellent seal materials for high temperatures in static environments. Typically, silicone o–rings show outstanding flex and fatigue life, strong ozone and UV radiation resistance, and physiologically neutral and insulating properties.
