O Ring materials selection?
Im now needing to occasionally replace o-rings in machine tools and
whatnot and need to purchase a selection of them to keep in the truck.
Most applications will be for air, in an oily environment, though a
few will be for hydraulic fluids. Is there some material best suited
for general use?
And will they degrade in a short period of time, in the back of my
service truck in hot weather?
What material should I be using?
I will likely purchase from ebay one of those 400 piece selections
for $10 or so, unless someone has better suggestions.
Grants recent thread on O/A o rings brought this to mind.
Thanks in advance
Gunner
