Reducing cold flow in elastomeric O-rings
Abstract
Pretreatment technique accelerates compression set of O-rings: seal is pressure loaded; seal and pressure mechanisms are heated to 160 F; load is applied to heated seal, causing material to flow; parts are cooled to room temperature; and load is removed.
