16484: O-RING

### Product Description: O-Ring (Type 16484) **Technical Specifications:** - **Type:** O-ring (solid-rubber, doughnut-shaped seal) - **Standard:** Likely compliant with AS568 or ISO 3601 standardized dimensional parameters - **Material:** Elastomeric compound (common materials include NBR, Silicone, FFKM, FKM, PTFE, EPDM, VMQ, and Neoprene) **Dimensions:** - **Characterization:** O-rings are defined by two primary dimensions: - Inner Diameter (ID) - Cross-Section (CS) or Cord Thickness - *Note: Exact dimensions for the 16484 O-ring are not provided.* **Function and Applications:** - Blocks the passage of gas or liquid when pressed between two mating surfaces. - Suitable for both static and dynamic sealing applications. - Commonly used in various industries including automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing. **Performance Characteristics:** - Provides a leak-free seal when properly installed. - Typically designed for 15-25% compression in static applications. - For dynamic applications, compression is usually 8-16%, with up to 20% for smaller cross-sections. **Installation Considerations:** - The O-ring's cross-sectional area should be at least 15% smaller than the groove's cross-sectional area in which it's installed. - Proper sizing and installation are crucial for optimal sealing performance. **Additional Information:** - O-rings can be used in both axial and radial seal configurations. - The specific placement of the O-ring in the groove depends on whether it's sealing against internal or external pressure. - O-rings are versatile and can be used in a wide range of temperature and pressure conditions, depending on the material selected. *For more specific details about the 16484 O-ring, including exact dimensions, material composition, and recommended applications, consult the manufacturer's datasheet or catalog.*
