-231 RED SILICONE 70D O-RING

This o-ring is supplied in AS568-231 red Silicone 70 Shore A built to an inside diameter of 2.609 in (66.27 mm), a cross section of 0.139 in (3.53 mm), and an outside diameter of 2.887 in (73.33 mm), catalogued under part number S70MD231. It provides a reliable static or dynamic seal by deforming into its gland under assembly load.

Expect good resistance to ozone and UV exposure, extreme heat and cold, and dry heat. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Silicone is specified for flexibility that holds at very low temperatures, physiological inertness and low toxicity. Published continuous service range is -80°F (-62.2°C) to 450°F (232.2°C). Exposure to steam above its rated range or concentrated acids will shorten service life.

This o-ring is metal detectable for HACCP and foreign-body control programs. Typical settings include electronics and electrical enclosures, medical devices, and sanitary process lines.
