There are many tests that have been developed to characterize rubber O-rings. Many of these tests are independent of the size of the O-ring being tested. However, there are some tests, specifically, stress/strain properties, that are a function of the O-ring’s size. The purpose of this report is to provide guidelines for specifying O-rings that would be considered “suitable for testing” when writing O-ring material specifications.
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) provides dimensions and procedures for a standardized test fixture used to evaluate the static performance of O-rings and other seal types in glands per AS4716 and AS5857.
This specification covers O-ring packings for use with petroleum based hydraulic fluids conforming to MIL-H-5606 and MIL-H-83282 over the temperature range of -65° to 275°F (-54° to 135°C).
This specification covers an Acrylonitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) that can be used to manufacture product in the form of sheet, strip, tubing, extrusions, and molded shapes. For molded rings, compression seals, O-ring cord, and molded-in-place gaskets for aeronautical and aerospace applications, use the AMS7000 series specification.
This specification covers a phenyl vinyl silicone rubber material that can be used to manufacture product in the form of sheet, strip, tubing, molded shapes, and extrusions. This specification should not be used for molded rings, compression seals, O-ring cord, and molded in place gaskets for aeronautical and aerospace applications without complete consideration of the end use prior to the selection of this material.
This specification covers a methyl or methyl vinyl silicone rubber material that can be used to manufacture product in the form of sheet, strip, tubing, extrusions, and molded shapes. For molded rings, compression seals, O-ring cord, and molded in place gaskets for aeronautical and aerospace applications, use the AMS7000 series specification.
This specification covers a silicone rubber material that can be used to manufacture product in the form of sheet, strip, tubing, extrusions, and molded shapes. This specification should not be used to address products such as O-rings, compression seals, O-ring cord, and molded-in-place gaskets.
This specification covers a silicone (MQ/VMQ) elastomer that can be used to manufacture product in the form of sheet, strip, tubing, extrusions, and molded shapes. This specification should not be used for molded rings, compression seals, O-ring cord, and molded in place gaskets for aeronautical and aerospace applications without complete consideration of the end use prior to the selection of this material.
