This quad-ring is supplied in AS568-167 black Buna-N (Nitrile) 70 Shore A built to an inside diameter of 6.987 in (177.47 mm), a cross section of 0.103 in (2.62 mm), and an outside diameter of 7.193 in (182.7 mm), catalogued under part number HQ4167. It uses a four-lobed profile to create two sealing surfaces per side, reducing the squeeze needed to seal.
Buna-N (Nitrile) is widely chosen for low compression set under sustained load and the most widely specified general-purpose sealing elastomer. Expect good resistance to petroleum-based oils, propane and butane, and greases and lubricants. Continuous operating temperature is published at -40°F (-40°C) to 250°F (121.1°C). It is not the right choice where automotive brake fluid or strong acids are present. The profile itself contributes lower compressive load required to achieve a seal and resistance to the spiral twisting that defeats round-section rings.
Common environments for this compound include construction equipment, fluid power, and general industrial maintenance.
Order part number HQ4167, sold individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 7 inch. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application. For a size or compound outside the standard catalog, APG can quote from a print or sample.
