What Are The Installation Requirements For Silicone O-rings?

The use of silicone O-rings plays a very important role in many industries. For silicone O-rings, it is very important to ensure basic quality and ensure the overall sealing during the installation process. . For the installation of silicone O-rings, the following requirements must be ensured:

1. Before installing the silicone O-ring, the following inspections need to be done:

1. Whether the lead-in angle is processed according to the drawing and whether the sharp edge is chamfered or rounded;

2. Whether the inner diameter is free of burrs and the surface is free of contamination;

3. Whether the seals and parts have been coated with grease or lubricating liquid (to ensure the media compatibility of the elastomer, it is recommended to use the sealed liquid for lubrication);

4. Grease containing solid additives, such as molybdenum disulfide and zinc sulfide, must not be used.

2. Pay attention to the following points when installing silicone O-rings:

1. Use tools without sharp edges;

2. Make sure that the silicone O-ring is not twisted during installation, and do not stretch the silicone O-ring excessively to avoid distortion;

3. Try to use auxiliary tools to install the silicone O-ring and ensure correct positioning;

4. For silicone O-rings bonded with sealing strips, they must not be stretched at the connection.

Only by ensuring that each installation meets the established requirements will future use be smoother.
