Expert Commentary
Comprehensive standard for Testing Rubber O-Rings. It covers tension, compression set, and hardness. Tension testing of O-rings is unique because it requires rotating spool grips. If the O-ring is held by static pins, stress concentrations at the pins will cause premature failure. MTO’s motorized spool grips rotate the O-ring during the test, ensuring that the tension is distributed uniformly around the entire circumference, yielding the true ultimate tensile strength of the elastomer.
