Ordered as S5.7X84.3, this is a red Silicone 70 Shore A O-Ring built to an inside diameter of 84.3 mm (3.319 in), a cross section of 5.7 mm (0.224 in), and an outside diameter of 95.7 mm (3.77 in). The 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 and exceptionally wide service temperature range. The compound resists extreme heat and cold, dry heat, and many oxidizing chemicals. The material carries a published service range of -80°F (-62.2°C) to 450°F (232.2°C). It is not the right choice where steam above its rated range or hydrocarbon fuels and oils are present.
The compound meets FDA requirements for food contact. Typical settings include pharmaceutical manufacturing, sanitary process lines, and medical devices.
