Effects of Shelf Aging on O-Ring Materials.

Abstract

Commercial O-rings made from 13 different rubber compounds were tested for physical properties when they were received from the manufacturer and after 7 and 12 years of shelf aging. No gross changes were observed in tensile strength, elongation, or compression deflection characteristics.
