Ordered as SFDA1.5X3, this is a red Silicone 70 Shore A O-Ring built to an inside diameter of 3 mm (0.118 in), a cross section of 1.5 mm (0.059 in), and an outside diameter of 6 mm (0.24 in). The o-ring provides a reliable static or dynamic seal by deforming into its gland under assembly load. This item is further identified as FDA Compliant TO 21CFR Sec 177-2600, Metric O-RING.
Silicone is specified here for very good compression set resistance across its range, physiological inertness and low toxicity. It resists ozone and UV exposure, dry heat, and weathering. Service temperature is rated from -80°F (-62.2°C) through 450°F (232.2°C). Applications involving steam above its rated range or concentrated acids call for a different compound.
The compound meets FDA requirements for food contact, is metal detectable for HACCP and foreign-body control programs. You will find this material specified across pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical devices, and food and beverage processing.
SFDA1.5X3 ships individually. Unit weight is approximately 0.0064 g. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation.
