About this event
O-rings are generally one of the first considerations when choosing a sealing feature between assembled components. They can be a simple and effective way to prevent air and water ingression or egression. However, following proper design guidelines as well as appropriate material selection are needed to ensure robustness. This presentation will discuss common applications for O-ring seals along with design and materials considerations for the O-ring and mating components.
At the conclusion of this presentation, you will understand:
