There are a number of physical properties you should consider when choosing an elastomeric compound for your O-ring application. These include hardness, tensile strength, modulus, elongation, tear resistance, abrasion resistance, compression set resistance, and resilience. The extent to which each of these properties is present in a given material has a huge impact on the material’s ability to provide an effective seal. HARDNESS |
