Properties of Elastomers
Understanding
Elastomer Properties and
Their Relationship with Seal Design
Selecting
the best seal for a specific application is done by optimizing several
factors. These include:
- Sealing
Performance
- Physical
- Chemical
- Thermal
- Pressure/vacuum
- Contamination
- Economy
The following
section defines many of the key terms and elastomer
properties used in seal selection.
Elastomer Properties - Hardness
Elastomer Properties - Tensile Stress/Strain
Elastomer Properties - Bulk Modulus/Resiliency
Elastomer Properties - Compression Set/Creep
Elastomer Properties - Stress Relaxation/Retained Sealing Force
Elastomer Properties - Shear Modulus/Tear Strength/Dynamic Stress-Strain
Elastomer Properties - Abrasion/Coefficient of Friction/Electrical Properties
Elastomer Properties - Miscellaneous Properties
