O ring shelf life compliance standard.

Nitrile o ring shelf life.

It was issued in 1998 to supersede mil hdbk 695 as the aerospace industry standard in governing o rings and molded seals shelf life. Learn more about the shelf life of different types of o ring materials. The shelf life of each polymer family as practiced by parker o ring and engineered seals division is listed below. Sae arp5316 is the most widely referenced guide for data recording procedures packaging and storing of aerospace elastomeric seals.

Seal design carries standard and metric o ring sizes. Shelf life as well as issuing shelf life statements for two polymer families not covered by as5316. Global o ring and seal adheres to the sae international aerospace standard as5316 for all elastomer product shelf life and storage conditions. Arp 5316 elastomer shelf life recommendation.
