Mechanical seals are largely used in several industrial application, such as automotive, naval, industrial equipment and also residential. The main job of a Mechanical Seals is to prevent the fluid, used in a machine, from leaking to the external environment. Inside a Mechanical Seals you can find primary and secondary…

O rings are elastomer rings with a circular cross-section. They withstand various types of stress, and are resistant to changes in both the O-ring section and its diameters. These characteristics make them amongst the finest seals of all in terms of flexibility. For this reason, they are extensively used in…

One of the most used laboratory tests to evaluate the quality of a compound / O-ring is the elongation and tensile strength test. The test requires a standard specimen / O-ring to be “stretched” until it breaks. At that moment, the percentage of elongation that it has undergone and the…

FKM, also known generically as FPM, are a family of elastomers that can be defined as “fluorinated compounds“. Thanks to the presence of fluorine in the formulation, they are considered high-quality compounds, with generally excellent resistance to high temperatures and the attack of chemical substances. Characteristics and fields of use…

The quality of the finish of O-Rings’ and grooves’ surfaces is a priority feature for the final sealing result and lifetime of the O-ring itself. Therefore, the surface finishing of the O-rings is something to be taken in serious consideration for specific applications. Usually, for common purposes, the surface roughness…

Technical definition and fundamental characteristics of the O-Ring. The O-Ring is a toroidal shaped ring. The term O-Ring can be broken down into “O” indicating the shape of the cross-section (in this case O, i.e. round) and “ring” indicating the ring. Thanks to its simple shape and a wide choice…

The O-Ring is designated by specifying the internal diameter (d1) and the diameter of the cross-section/cord (d2). Let’s try to better understand together how we in ORINGONE take care of your requests starting from the Designation and technical measurements for the production of your Personalized O-Ring. What does Designating an…

O-Rings can be found everywhere, from small household appliances and systems to the most complex technological mechanics. It is a simple article in its shape and possibilities of use, which is why it remains the best seal for many applications. So what is the difference between an O-Ring used to…

If it is true that we can consider as “elastic” a material that, after having been subjected to a considerable deformation under tensile, compression or stretching stress, quickly returns to its initial shape as soon as the set force is removed, we can consider these three stress parameters to be…

ORINGONE has always offered the possibility to produce and purchase O-Rings with non-standard Diameter and Dimensions online. Our company is characterised by the technology and expertise in the management of each customer’s individual requests, offering the possibility to order even a single O-Ring with dimensional characteristics outside the normal range,…
