Apple Rubber: O-Rings in Standard and Non-Standard Sizes

An O-ring is a toroidal elastomeric sealing device designed to prevent the passage of fluids or gases between two mating surfaces under static or dynamic conditions. Its circular cross-sectional geometry creates a compression seal when installed in a properly dimensioned gland or groove. The inherent resilience of elastomeric materials allows them to conform to surface irregularities, maintaining seal integrity across a wide range of pressures, temperatures, and chemical environments.

O-Rings function based on the principle of zero-gap sealing, where the compressive force exerted by the mating surfaces deforms the O-ring, creating a barrier against leakage. This elegant yet highly effective sealing solution finds widespread application across numerous industries, from aerospace and automotive to medical sectors.
