Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening the gland, which can compress the O-ring beyond its elastic limit and cause premature failure.Adhere to the recommended gland compression specifications to avoid over-compression and ensure the O-ring's longevity.
Using incompatible lubricants or cleaning agents that can degrade the silicone material.Always consult the material compatibility chart for the specific silicone compound and the system's fluids before selecting lubricants or cleaning agents.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic and pneumatic systems
  • Aerospace fluid handling
  • Chemical processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure the O-ring material is compatible with the system's operating temperature range and chemical environment.
  • Avoid exposure to ozone, UV radiation, or high-energy radiation which can degrade silicone.
