What is O-Ring?
O-rings are used in many different applications to prevent fluid and gas leaks. In hydraulic and pneumatic systems, they are frequently used to seal connections and stop leaks. O-rings are also used to create a watertight seal in consumer products like garden hoses and faucets.
As a sealing device, O-rings' primary function is to stop fluid or air from escaping. The ring takes up the clearance when it is squeezed between two surfaces, stopping any fluid or air from escaping.
