O-ring Failure And Treatment
O-rings are rubber sealing rings with a circular cross-section. Because of their O-shaped cross-section, they are called O-rings, also known as O-rings.
P-rings are suitable for installation on various mechanical equipment, providing sealing at specified temperatures and pressures, in various liquid and gaseous media, whether stationary or in motion. Various types of sealing components are widely used in machine tools, ships, automobiles, aerospace equipment, metallurgical machinery, chemical machinery, engineering machinery, construction machinery, mining machinery, petroleum machinery, plastics machinery, agricultural machinery, and various instruments and meters. O-rings are primarily used for static and reciprocating sealing. Their use in rotary sealing is limited to low-speed rotary sealing devices. O-rings are generally installed in rectangular grooves on the outer or inner diameter of a circle to provide sealing. O-rings provide excellent sealing and vibration damping in environments resistant to oil, acid, alkali, abrasion, and chemical attack. Therefore, O-rings are the most widely used seal in hydraulic and pneumatic transmission systems.
