This o-ring is supplied in AS568-324 red Silicone 70 Shore A measuring an inside diameter of 1.35 in (34.29 mm), a cross section of 0.21 in (5.33 mm), and an outside diameter of 1.77 in (44.96 mm), catalogued under part number S70MD324. It compresses into its gland to block fluid or gas migration across a joint.
The compound resists extreme heat and cold, many oxidizing chemicals, and ozone and UV exposure. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Silicone is valued for physiological inertness and low toxicity, very good compression set resistance across its range. Rated temperature range runs from -80°F (-62.2°C) to 450°F (232.2°C) in continuous service. Verify compatibility before use with hydrocarbon fuels and oils or concentrated acids.
The compound is metal detectable for HACCP and foreign-body control programs. Typical settings include electronics and electrical enclosures, sanitary process lines, and ovens and heated equipment.
Reference part number S70MD324 when ordering; the item is sold individually. Review your operating media and conditions against this specification before installation. For a size or compound outside the standard catalog, APG can quote from a print or sample.
