APG stocks the S70FDA341, an AS568-341 red Silicone 70 Shore A O-Ring supplied with an inside diameter of 3.475 in (88.27 mm), a cross section of 0.21 in (5.33 mm), and an outside diameter of 3.895 in (98.93 mm). An o-ring seats in a machined groove and forms a leak-tight barrier when compressed between two mating surfaces.
Silicone is specified here for very good compression set resistance across its range, physiological inertness and low toxicity. It resists many oxidizing chemicals, extreme heat and cold, and weathering. Published continuous service range is -80°F (-62.2°C) to 450°F (232.2°C). Applications involving hydrocarbon fuels and oils 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, food and beverage processing, and ovens and heated equipment.
Stocked as S70FDA341 and sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 9.354 g and nominal inside diameter is listed as 3 1/2 inch. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application.
