Sealey Ak522 O-Ring and Seal Pick

Product Information

The o-ring has a durometer of 70 Shore A. Shore A is a commonly used durometer scale to measure the hardness of rubber materials. The Shore A scale measures the indentation hardness of the material, which is the material's resistance to permanent indentation or deformation caused by a sharp object pressing against it. The higher the number on the Shore A scale, the harder and less flexible the material. A durometer of 70 Shore A means that the material has a medium hardness, with some resistance to deformation under pressure but still capable of some degree of flexibility. O-rings can be made of a very long list of exotic materials and most are inappropriate for SCUBA applications. The materials commonly used in SCUBA applications appear in the following table. Material

EPDM O-rings are becoming more common in SCUBA because some people feel it's a safer material for use in breathing air systems. EPDM is a elastomer with excellent weatherability, heat resistance, dielectric qualities and odor-free characteristics. However, EPDM is less resilient and is not recommended for use with petroleum derivatives. stage inlet fittings; HP seal retainer seal; J valve module; Valve HP plugs; 2nd stage barrel and housing plug seals, Shewood 5121-106, Scubapro 1,050,158, Apeks: AP1267 Proper o-ring installation ensures proper sealing of mechanical systems, preventing fluids and gasses from leaking out or entering unwanted areas. Installing an o-ring involves several crucial steps that must be performed carefully to avoid damaging the o-ring or compromising its performance. Here's a general overview of the installation process:

Apeks O-rings

Some people believe there is a difference in quality based on colour, but that is more likely attributed to unknowingly using soft dynamic O-rings in static applications. Our O-ring manufacturer states there is little difference in quality for O-rings based on colour alone, and independent testing supports that statement. There are three most important factors to keep in mind while deciding on a product: pricing, quality, and popularity. Lubrication reduces radial seal installation force and ensures smooth transitions in male and female seals. WHAT'S INCLUDED - 3 pieces of 14g (1.6mm) clear flexible navel button ring with clear rubber o-rings.We have 3 length options ; 5/16 inch (8mm), 3/8 inch (10mm) and 1/4 inch (12mm), please choose your size.

Position the testing device over the o-ring and lift the weight to the topmost point of the tube. Then allow it to drop onto the o-ring.Used on Small DIN First Stage Regulators (e.g. Apeks and Scubapro), plus some DIN Valve inserts, and Old Yoke Valves O-rings made of FPM/FKM/Viton® have been the preferred choice for oxygen and nitrox compatibility in SCUBA diving applications. FPM/FKM/Viton® is an elastomer with excellent oil and oxygen resistance at high and low temperatures, very good chemical resistance. Even for use with ordinary air, most experts agree that FPM/FKM/Viton® O-rings outperform common Nitrile O-rings. O Ring Gauge– The instrument allows you to identify the size of almost any O Ring Seal and meets the BS1806 and AS568 Standards. However, if you aren't well versed in the technical aspect of scuba gear, it's only advisable to attempt to change the O-ring on a scuba cylinder/tank valve (Yoke), or the face of your DIN regulator. Leave other O-rings for experienced professionals. Common regulator piston ring; Body plug seals; Paintball guns, Sherwood 5110-107, Scubapro 1,050,177

Choosing the correct o-ring material for a replacement requires consideration of various factors, including the application's operating conditions and the material compatibility with the fluid being used. Several methods are available to identify the material if it has not been initially discovered. Use a rubber indicator test O-rings are measured by their inside, outside, and cross-sectional diameter. O-ring measuring tools like rulers or calipers can be used for these measurements. What is an o-ring installation tool? O Ring Lube– Make the installation of your O Ring easier with Lube. Formulated to facilitate installation and extended service life of synthetic rubber O Rings and Seals. Learn more about why and when to use O Ring Lube here. Anyone who has to regularly remove and fit O rings on hydraulic, pneumatic or other equipment will know that it can be a fiddly task. The job is made much easier if you have the right tools on hand.
