The materials and application of the sealing ring

Have you ever heard of the sealing ring? As its name implies, it is used to seal the liquid or gas. Generally speaking, there are a lot of sealing rings. They are made of different materials and also they have different applications. In the following article, the writer will introduce the five typical sealing rings in detail.

The first one is the EPDM sealing ring. It is made of the ethylene propylene terpolymer. This ring has the good weather resisting property, Ozone resisting property, water-resistance and chemical resistance. It is widely used in the liquids, such as alcohol. In addition, it is also applied in the high-temperature vapor environment. The ring is applicable for the sanitary bath equipment, automobile radiator and braking system. It is not suitable to apply this ring into the food industry. Generally speaking, the operating temperature ranges from -55 to 150 Celsius degrees.

The second one is the CR sealing ring. Its sunshine resisting property and weather resisting property are quite good. Therefore, if there is a lot of air, sunshine or ozone in the working environment, this sealing ring is the better selection. As for the applicable working temperature, it ranges from-55-12 Celsius degrees.

The third one is NBR sealing ring. It is made of the nitrile -butadiene rubber. It is the most popular and cheapest rubber seal element at present. It is applicable for the following media, such as hydraulic liquid, gas oil, water and silicon oil. However, it can not be used in the polar solvent. Generally speaking, the usage temperature is from -40 to 120 Celsius degrees.

The fourth one is the HNBR sealing ring. It has the excellent corrosion-proof property, tear-proof property and deformation-proof property. Meanwhile, it can resist the corrosion that is caused by the ozone, sunshine. Compared with the NBR sealing ring, it has the better wearing quality. On basis of the above-mentioned features, this sealing ring is widely used in the washing machinery, automobile engine and refrigerating system. The working temperature ranges from -40 to 150 Celsius degrees.

The fifth one is the SIL sealing ring. The main material is the silicon rubber. This sealing ring is famous for the following properties, such as heat resistance, cold resistance and ozone resistance. It can be widely applied in the household appliances. The household appliances include electric heater, electric iron and micro-wave oven. What’s more, this ring also is suitable for the kettle and water fountain.

Besides for the above-mentioned sealing rings, there are also other ones. Owing to the limited knowledge the writer will not introduce them one by one. In a word, the sealing ring is one of the most useful sealing elements.
