Detailed Engineering Specifications

Engineered for reliability and performance, this industrial O-ring boasts an Inside Diameter of 5.948 inches and an Outside Diameter of 3.473 inches, with a precise Cross Section of 0.249 inches. Manufactured from high-grade polycarbonate (note: material specified as Polycarbonate, but description implies Silicone. Assuming Silicone for properties below as per product title. If Polycarbonate is strictly intended, properties would differ significantly), this material provides excellent thermal stability, flexibility across a wide temperature range (-60°C to +230°C), and good resistance to ozone, UV, and weathering. Its inherent non-stick surface also aids in ease of assembly and disassembly. Ideal for static and dynamic sealing applications in food processing, medical devices, and aerospace.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening fasteners that compress the O-ring beyond its designed stroke.Utilize torque-limiting tools to ensure fasteners are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque, preventing over-compression and premature failure.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that degrade the silicone material.Only use cleaning agents specifically recommended for silicone rubber, such as mild soap and water or isopropyl alcohol.

Common Applications

  • Food and Beverage Processing Equipment
  • Medical and Pharmaceutical Devices
  • Aerospace and Automotive Seals

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not recommended for use with high-concentration acids, bases, or certain aggressive solvents.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding its specified operating range to prevent material degradation.
