Nowadays, the application range of O-ring seals is very wide, and they can play a good sealing role. However, if installed improperly, it can lead to a decrease in sealing performance and even cause medium leakage. Today, we will learn about the points to pay attention to during installation.

Most of the O-ring substrates seen on the market are made of elastic rubber, which has good sealing performance. Its simple structure, low cost, convenient use, and good sealing performance make it widely used. It is usually installed in grooves and has good sealing performance. However, there are still areas to pay attention to during installation to ensure good sealing effect.

The following precautions should be taken when installing the O-ring seal

1.Before installing the sealing ring, it is necessary to check whether the surface is clean and smooth, especially when installing the contact surface. Under normal circumstances, the installation surface is required to be smooth and clean. If there are burrs or unevenness on the surface of the sealing element, it is not recommended to use it.

2. When installing the sealing ring, attention should be paid to installing it in a clean environment. If there is a large amount of dust and sand in the installation environment, these impurities will enter the edge of the sealing ring, causing wear and tear of the sealing ring, which will affect its sealing effect. Especially, the long-term presence of these impurities will cause greater harm to the future use of the sealing ring.

It can be seen that the smoothness and cleanliness of the surface of the O-ring are very important when installing it. The service life of this product is limited, so when used for a period of time, its material will age, wear out, and lose its sealing effect. At this time, the sealing ring needs to be replaced again.
