Metal Detectable FDA Silicone 70 568-231

Use item S70MD231 when a Silicone 70A Metal-Detectable O-Ring is required for food processing, packaging, washdown and detectable sealing applications where material selection is critical. The item is specified by AS568-231; 2.609 inch (66.27 mm) ID x 0.139 inch (3.53 mm) CS; 2.887 inch (73.33 mm) OD, with 2 5/8 inch nominal ID; 1/8 inch nominal CS for cross-reference against common gland and replacement dimensions. The Silicone construction supports flexibility across broad temperature swings and clean sealing applications that require a soft, compliant elastomer. It is with a listed temperature range of -80°F (-62.2°C) to 450°F (232°C), which can help narrow material selection for heat, cold or process exposure. The red color and round profile provide a practical visual identifier during receiving, stocking and installation. This category is commonly specified for processing environments, packaging equipment and washdown areas where seal identification matters. The each-unit format supports precise replacement, kitting, resale and job-specific purchasing. Its metal-detectable formulation supports detectable sealing applications where lost-part risk management is part of the specification. Important product identifiers include O-rings, replacement seals, fluid sealing, material compatibility and dimensional fit. It supports customer comparison, distributor cataloging and specification-based selection without relying on pricing, availability or shipping claims.
