Ordered as E2X5, this is a black EPDM (EPR) 70 Shore A O-Ring with an inside diameter of 5 mm (0.197 in), a cross section of 2 mm (0.079 in), and an outside diameter of 9 mm (0.35 in). The o-ring compresses into its gland to block fluid or gas migration across a joint.
This material stands up to ketones, dilute acids and alkalis, and phosphate ester hydraulic fluids. That behavior comes from the compound itself: EPDM (EPR) is specified for outstanding weather, ozone and sunlight resistance, good electrical insulating characteristics. Published continuous service range is -65°F (-53.9°C) to 300°F (148.9°C). It should not be specified for service in mineral oil-based lubricants or aromatic hydrocarbons.
You will find this material specified across water and steam systems, solar and roofing assemblies, and HVAC and refrigeration.
Stocked as E2X5 and sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 0.091 g. Check the compound against your process media, pressure and temperature before committing to a design. APG can cross-reference from an existing part number, a drawing or a physical sample if this size is not an exact match.
