-173 RED SILICONE 70D O-RING

This o-ring is supplied in AS568-173 red Silicone 70 Shore A measuring an inside diameter of 8.487 in (215.57 mm), a cross section of 0.103 in (2.62 mm), and an outside diameter of 8.693 in (220.8 mm), catalogued under part number S70173. It seats in a machined groove and forms a leak-tight barrier when compressed between two mating surfaces.

Expect good resistance to many oxidizing chemicals, extreme heat and cold, and weathering. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Silicone is widely chosen for flexibility that holds at very low temperatures and excellent electrical insulating properties. The material carries a published service range of -80°F (-62.2°C) to 450°F (232.2°C). Verify compatibility before use with concentrated acids or hydrocarbon fuels and oils.

You will find this material specified across sanitary process lines, food and beverage processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Stocked as S70173 and sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 5.201 g. Check the compound against your process media, pressure and temperature before committing to a design.
