Ordered as E1X3, this is a black EPDM (EPR) 70 Shore A O-Ring measuring an inside diameter of 3 mm (0.118 in), a cross section of 1 mm (0.039 in), and an outside diameter of 5 mm (0.2 in). The o-ring compresses into its gland to block fluid or gas migration across a joint.
EPDM (EPR) is specified here for excellent hot water and steam resistance, very good flexibility at low temperature. The compound resists dilute acids and alkalis, phosphate ester hydraulic fluids, and ozone, UV and weathering. Published continuous service range is -65°F (-53.9°C) to 300°F (148.9°C). Exposure to aromatic hydrocarbons or mineral oil-based lubricants will shorten service life.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across brake and phosphate ester systems, potable water applications, and water and steam systems.
E1X3 ships individually. Unit weight is approximately 0.0131 g. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application. For a size or compound outside the standard catalog, APG can quote from a print or sample.
