-460 RED SILICONE 70D FDA O-RING

APG stocks the S70FDA460, an AS568-460 red Silicone 70 Shore A O-Ring built to an inside diameter of 15.475 in (393.07 mm), a cross section of 0.275 in (6.99 mm), and an outside diameter of 16.025 in (407.04 mm). An o-ring seats in a machined groove and forms a leak-tight barrier when compressed between two mating surfaces.

This material stands up to dry heat, weathering, and ozone and UV exposure. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Silicone is valued for very good compression set resistance across its range and excellent electrical insulating properties. Rated temperature range runs from -80°F (-62.2°C) to 450°F (232.2°C) in continuous service. Exposure to steam above its rated range or abrasive dynamic service will shorten service life.

This item meets FDA requirements for food contact, is metal detectable for HACCP and foreign-body control programs. Typical settings include food and beverage processing, electronics and electrical enclosures, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Reference part number S70FDA460 when ordering; the item is sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 67.26 g and nominal inside diameter is listed as 15 1/2 inch. Check the compound against your process media, pressure and temperature before committing to a design.
