O’Ring Cord

O'ring cord cross sectionThis is handy when odd sized o’rings are urgently required and not available or when the required diameter is larger than what can be fully moulded. Though keep in mind that being an extrusion, cross sectional tolerances are larger than a fully moulded seal (see table below) and joined o’rings are suitable as a static seal only.

Sealing Australia stocks a wide range of o’ring cord in various compounds, hardness’s and cross sections.

Range of compounds

Range of hardness's

Measured in Shore A Durometer. Other hardness’s are available.

Cross Sectional Tolerances

Sealing Australia’s cord stock is manufactured to RMA Class E1 High Precision Tolerance, the highest standard for o’ring cord tolerance.
