Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this O-ring boasts an Inside Diameter of 2.956 inches, an Outside Diameter of 10.375 inches, and a Cross Section of 0.154 inches. The Buna-N (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) compound provides excellent resistance to oils, fuels, and many hydraulic fluids, operating effectively across a temperature range of -40°F to 257°F (-40°C to 125°C). The 304 stainless steel housing offers exceptional corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, making this seal ideal for high-pressure, corrosive, and abrasive industrial environments. Its rigid construction also prevents extrusion under pressure, enhancing sealing integrity and extending service life in demanding applications.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong lubricantAlways use a lubricant compatible with both the Buna-N material and the system media to prevent swelling or degradation of the seal.
Overtightening fastenersOvertightening can cause excessive compression, leading to O-ring extrusion or premature failure. Follow torque specifications precisely.
Installing a twisted O-ringA twisted O-ring will create leakage paths and significantly reduce its lifespan. Ensure the O-ring sits flat and uniformly in the groove.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic systems
  • Pneumatic cylinders
  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Automotive fuel systems
  • Oil and gas exploration

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for ozone, strong acids, or polar solvents.
  • Ensure operating temperature remains within the specified range to prevent material degradation.
