-462 RED SILICONE 70D O-RING

Part number S70MD462 is an AS568-462 red Silicone 70 Shore A O-Ring supplied with an inside diameter of 16.455 in (417.96 mm), a cross section of 0.275 in (6.99 mm), and an outside diameter of 17.005 in (431.93 mm). An o-ring seats in a machined groove and forms a leak-tight barrier when compressed between two mating surfaces.

The material holds up against many oxidizing chemicals, ozone and UV exposure, and extreme heat and cold. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Silicone is widely chosen for physiological inertness and low toxicity, flexibility that holds at very low temperatures. Service temperature is rated from -80°F (-62.2°C) through 450°F (232.2°C). Applications involving steam above its rated range or hydrocarbon fuels and oils call for a different compound.

The compound is metal detectable for HACCP and foreign-body control programs. Common environments for this compound include ovens and heated equipment, sanitary process lines, and electronics and electrical enclosures.

This item is sold individually under part number S70MD462. Check the compound against your process media, pressure and temperature before committing to a design.
