Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong O-ring material for the specific fluid or temperature application.Always verify material compatibility with the operating environment, referencing chemical resistance charts for Buna-N and other available elastomers.
Over-tightening or excessive force during installation, leading to O-ring damage.Install O-rings with minimal force, ensuring they seat properly without being cut, nicked, or stretched beyond their elastic limit.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Systems
  • Pneumatic Actuators
  • Oil and Gas Equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for applications involving ozone, ketones, esters, or strong oxidizing agents.
  • Maximum service temperature for Buna-N is typically around 250°F (121°C); consult specific grade data for precise limits.
