Factors affecting the sealing performance of O-ring!
Material properties are the basic factors that affect the sealing effect. The hardness, tensile strength, compression permanent deformation and other performance parameters of different materials are different, and these differences will directly affect the sealing performance of the sealing ring. For example, too high hardness may cause the seal to be damaged during installation, while too much permanent compression deformation may lead to seal failure.
The working environment also has an important impact on the sealing performance of the O-ring. Environmental factors such as temperature, pressure and medium properties will affect the working state of the sealing ring. In high temperature or high pressure environments, the sealing ring may be softened or deformed, resulting in reduced sealing performance. At the same time, corrosive media may also cause damage to the material of the sealing ring and affect its sealing effect.
The installation process is also a key factor affecting the sealing performance of the O-ring. Improper operation during installation may cause damage or deformation of the sealing ring, which will affect its sealing performance. Therefore, during the installation process, it is necessary to strictly follow the operating specifications to ensure the correct installation of the sealing ring.
