O Ring Seals Backup PTFE Nonstandard 

O Ring Seals Backup PTFE Nonstandard O rings have some amazing properties which makes them a crucial component of many precision engineered devices. Their natural propensity to return to their original shape when the cross section has pressure exerted on White Virgin PTFE means they are one of the most economical and reliable methods of making a strong seal possible. Successful O-ring joint design requires a rigid mechanical mounting that applies a predictable deformation to the O-ring. This introduces a calculated mechanical stress at the O-ring contacting surfaces. As long as the pressure of the fluid being contained does not exceed the contact stress of the O-ring, leaking cannot occur. The pressure of the contained fluid transfers through the essentially incompressible O-ring material, and the contact stress rises with increasing pressure. For this reason, an O-ring can easily seal high pressure as long as Virgin PTFE does not fail mechanically. The most common failure i…
