Rubber Rings, also known as O-rings or gaskets, are circular sealing components made from various types of rubber, such as natural rubber, nitrile, silicone, or EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer). They are widely used in various industries to create a tight seal between two or more parts, preventing the leakage of liquids, gases, or other substances.
Material: Rubber Rings are typically made from durable and flexible rubber materials that offer excellent resistance to compression, abrasion, and chemical exposure. The choice of rubber depends on the application requirements, such as temperature tolerance, chemical resistance, and flexibility.
Shape: The most common shape is the torus or doughnut-like form, which ensures an even distribution of pressure when compressed between two surfaces.
Functionality: When placed between two surfaces, the Rubber Ring is compressed, creating a seal that prevents the escape of fluids or gases. The elasticity of the rubber allows it to maintain the seal even under varying pressures and temperatures.
Sizes: Available in various standard and custom sizes to fit different types of fittings and applications.
Applications :
Plumbing: Used in faucets, pipes, and other plumbing fixtures to prevent leaks.
Automotive: Found in engines, fuel systems, and hydraulic systems to maintain seals under high pressure.
Industrial Equipment: Used in machinery and equipment that requires airtight or watertight seals.
Aerospace: Critical in maintaining seals in high-pressure environments like aircraft systems.
Medical Devices: Used in medical equipment where reliable sealing is essential.
Advantages :
Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, from household plumbing to high-pressure industrial systems.
Durability: Resistant to wear and tear, as well as environmental factors like heat, cold, and chemicals.
Flexibility: Maintains its sealing properties under various pressures and temperatures.
