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.
