BlueSpot O-ring Assorted Nitrile Kit Set - SAE - 225pc

SAE refers to the Society of Automotive Engineers. O-rings designated as SAE use Imperial (inch-based) sizing standards, commonly found in North American automotive and industrial applications.

Yes, nitrile O-rings are commonly used in hydraulic systems. However, performance depends on the specific pressure, temperature, and fluid compatibility. Always refer to system specifications.

Nitrile rubber generally offers good resistance to petrol and gasoline. However, for prolonged exposure or specific fuel blends, it's always best to confirm compatibility.

Store them in the provided carrying case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain their integrity and prevent premature degradation.

Standard nitrile O-rings are typically not rated for food-grade applications. Special food-grade certified O-rings are required for such uses.

Nitrile O-rings are valued for their excellent resistance to petroleum-based oils, fuels, water, hydraulic fluids, and their good mechanical properties at a reasonable cost.

SAE O-rings use Imperial measurements (inches) and are common in US-made equipment. Metric O-rings use millimeter measurements and are standard in European and Asian-made equipment. Check the specifications of your equipment or the original seal.

Ensure you have selected the correct SAE size. Verify that both mating surfaces are clean and undamaged. Check if the O-ring is lubricated appropriately for the application. Inspect the O-ring for any nicks or cuts.

The O-ring may be exposed to incompatible chemicals or extreme temperatures. Consult a chemical compatibility chart for nitrile rubber and the specific substance it contacts. Replace the O-ring with one made of a more suitable material if necessary.

Refer to the original equipment manufacturer's specifications or use a dedicated O-ring sizing gauge. Organize the O-rings within the case by size for easier identification.
