E1.5X5.5 is a black EPDM (EPR) 70 Shore A O-Ring built to an inside diameter of 5.5 mm (0.217 in), a cross section of 1.5 mm (0.059 in), and an outside diameter of 8.5 mm (0.33 in). In service, this o-ring creates a positive seal at flange, piston and rod interfaces without added hardware. The catalog record notes: Metric O-RING, JIS S6.
As a material, EPDM (EPR) is widely chosen for very good flexibility at low temperature and good electrical insulating characteristics. This material stands up to phosphate ester hydraulic fluids, ozone, UV and weathering, and dilute acids and alkalis. Continuous operating temperature is published at -65°F (-53.9°C) to 300°F (148.9°C). Verify compatibility before use with mineral oil-based lubricants or aromatic hydrocarbons.
You will find this material specified across potable water applications, HVAC and refrigeration, and brake and phosphate ester systems.
This item is sold individually under part number E1.5X5.5. Unit weight is approximately 0.05 g. Check the compound against your process media, pressure and temperature before committing to a design. If you need a size, durometer or compound that is not listed, APG can cross-reference from a print, a sample or a competitor part number.
