Product Information

Full details

The uxcell Nitrile Rubber O-rings are essential components for DIY enthusiasts, mechanics, and maintenance professionals who need a reliable seal for hydraulic or pneumatic systems. These 31mm OD rings excel at preventing leaks in engines, valves, and cylinders, providing a durable barrier against petroleum-based fluids. While these rings are highly resistant to oils and grease, they are not suitable for high-heat environments exceeding 212°F (100°C) or exposure to specific aggressive solvents that degrade nitrile rubber.

FAQs

What is the material of these O-rings?

These are made from high-quality Nitrile Rubber (Buna-N), which is known for its excellent oil resistance.

Can I use these for water pipes?

While they provide a good seal for general fluid applications, they are optimized specifically for petroleum and hydraulic fluids.

What does 70A Shore hardness mean?

It refers to the material's durometer (hardness). 70A is a standard hardness that provides a good balance between seal integrity and elasticity.

Are these O-rings reusable?

It is generally recommended to replace O-rings after they have been compressed in an assembly, as the material can take a permanent 'set' over time.

Can these be used for high-temperature exhaust systems?

No. These are rated for a maximum of 212°F (100°C) and will fail rapidly if exposed to exhaust temperatures.

Troubleshooting

O-ring is leaking shortly after installation

Check for debris in the seating groove or nicks on the mating metal surfaces.

O-ring is difficult to seat in the groove

Apply a small amount of compatible silicone-based lubricant to assist in seating the ring.

O-ring has flattened or cracked

Replace the O-ring immediately, as this indicates it has exceeded its service life or temperature limits.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to petroleum-based oils and greases
  • Standardized 70A Shore hardness for versatile sealing
  • Durable construction ensures a reliable pressure seal
  • Convenient pack of 10 for multiple replacement needs
  • Wide operational temperature range

Cons

  • Not suitable for environments exceeding 212°F
  • Nitrile may degrade when exposed to specific harsh chemicals
  • Requires precise measurement for compatibility
  • Cannot be used in high-pressure steam applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, thoroughly clean the groove or mating surface to remove old gasket residue, dirt, or metal shavings. Lightly lubricate the O-ring with a compatible lubricant to prevent twisting or tearing during insertion. Verify that your groove dimensions match the 3mm cross-section size to ensure proper compression. Keep these rings stored in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, as UV exposure can degrade nitrile rubber over time, leading to cracking and reduced sealing performance.
