What Is O Rings?
An O-ring is a mechanical gasket in the shape of a torus, commonly used as a sealing device to prevent the leakage of fluids or gases between two connected surfaces. It is typically made from a flexible elastomer material, such as rubber or silicone, which allows it to deform and create a tight seal when compressed. The design of O-rings allows for easy installation and maintenance. These rubber components are typically placed in a groove or recess between two mating surfaces, where the compression created by the force of the surfaces coming together ensures a secure seal. O-rings are also commonly used in conjunction with other sealing devices, such as gaskets, to provide additional protection against leaks.
