Ordered as S1X6, this is a red Silicone 70 Shore A O-Ring built to an inside diameter of 6 mm (0.236 in), a cross section of 1 mm (0.039 in), and an outside diameter of 8 mm (0.31 in). The o-ring seats in a machined groove and forms a leak-tight barrier when compressed between two mating surfaces.
The material holds up against weathering, ozone and UV exposure, and dry heat. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Silicone offers physiological inertness and low toxicity, very good compression set resistance across its range. The material carries a published service range of -80°F (-62.2°C) to 450°F (232.2°C). It is not the right choice where concentrated acids or hydrocarbon fuels and oils are present.
This o-ring meets FDA requirements for food contact. You will find this material specified across sanitary process lines, electronics and electrical enclosures, and food and beverage processing.
Order part number S1X6, sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 0.0233 g. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application. If you need a size, durometer or compound that is not listed, APG can cross-reference from a print, a sample or a competitor part number.
