Sealey Vs5211 O-Ring Removal Tool Set 4Pc

Product Information

High-viscosity silicone oil: High viscosity silicone oil is an ideal all-purpose o-ring lubricant. It is an incredibly efficient seal lubricant and can be utilized in temperatures between -54 𐩑C - 204 𐩑C (-65 𐩑F - 400 𐩑F). O-rings are measured by their inside, outside, and cross-sectional diameter. O-ring measuring tools like rulers or calipers can be used for these measurements. What is an o-ring installation tool? Lubrication reduces radial seal installation force and ensures smooth transitions in male and female seals.

The application parameters should be considered when choosing the appropriate lubricant. The lubricant chosen must be:

Figure 5: O-ring measurement: Inner diameter (A), outer diameter (B), and cross-section (C) Determining o-ring material Using a seal material guide will indicate the material the previous seal was made of or which material to choose while replacing the seal. Various sealing materials include NBR, FKM, and EPDM. Read our article on o-rings for more information on the advantages, disadvantages, and compatibility of each material with different media. Hardness of the o-ring material O-rings work under heavy compression, distorting slightly to fill the void and prevent leaks. They’re often made from elastomers like nitrile rubber and silicone but also come in plastics, metals and other materials. Lubricate the o-ring: Lubricating the o-ring and the groove with a compatible lubricant is critical to ensure it slides into the groove smoothly without any twisting or damage (discussed in depth later in the article).This testing device comprises of a tube containing a specific magnitude weight (Figure 6 labeled A). The weight descends a predetermined distance for each material, as shown on Figure 6. Upon impact, the o-ring will rebound, and the height of the first bounce will fall into one of four calibrated ranges. Gaskets are a type of mechanical seal that sits between two mating component surfaces, improving the performance of each while preventing leaks or ingress of pressurised/compressed fluids.

Choosing the correct o-ring material for a replacement requires consideration of various factors, including the application's operating conditions and the material compatibility with the fluid being used. Several methods are available to identify the material if it has not been initially discovered. Use a rubber indicator test Anyone who has to regularly remove and fit O rings on hydraulic, pneumatic or other equipment will know that it can be a fiddly task. The job is made much easier if you have the right tools on hand.

To return faulty items see our Returning Faulty Items policy. O-rings work similarly to gaskets and glands, also forming a tight seal between components or machine parts by sitting in a groove cut into one of the mating surfaces. Using metal O-ring removal tools, metal tweezers, screwdrivers, or any other sharp metal tools to remove an O-ring can damage the housing of the equipment the O-ring is in. A small scratch in an O-ring groove can create a leak path and adversely affect the integrity of the seal. Benefits of PPE’s O-ring removal tool: Position the testing device over the o-ring and lift the weight to the topmost point of the tube. Then allow it to drop onto the o-ring. Note: As a rule of thumb, the smallest dimension in the specification will be the o-ring cross-section, the largest dimension will be its outer diameter, and the intermediate value is its inner diameter.
