Ordered as HQ4268, this is an AS568-268 black Buna-N (Nitrile) 70 Shore A Quad-Ring built to an inside diameter of 8.484 in (215.49 mm), a cross section of 0.139 in (3.53 mm), and an outside diameter of 8.762 in (222.55 mm). The quad-ring uses a four-lobed profile to create two sealing surfaces per side, reducing the squeeze needed to seal.
The compound resists many alcohols, propane and butane, and petroleum-based oils. Buna-N (Nitrile) offers low compression set under sustained load and an economical choice for high-volume maintenance programs. Published continuous service range is -40°F (-40°C) to 250°F (121.1°C). Applications involving strong acids or ozone and direct sunlight call for a different compound. The profile itself contributes lower compressive load required to achieve a seal and a parting line located away from the sealing surface.
It sees regular use in fluid power, agricultural equipment, and construction equipment.
Stocked as HQ4268 and sold individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 8 1/2 inch. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation.
