Excessive heat often leads to superficial cracks on the O-ring. Brittleness can also occur. The O-ring then retains a high permanent deformation. This is also the case when suitable O-rings have exceeded their service life.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Exposure to media:  <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aggressive media can cause unsuitable materials to swell considerably. This causes the sealing gap to overfill, resulting in mechanical damage to the O-ring. Conversely, process media can also dissolve substances out of the seal (extraction). This leads to a loss of elastic material properties and permanent deformation.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><b>Mechanical load:  <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preliminary damage to the O-ring can occur during installation. This risk exists in particular if no suitable assembly aids are available. This results in stretching or twisting. Other damage mechanisms in this category are the effect of pressurized media and sharp-edged installation spaces.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If an O-ring fails, in many cases this cannot be attributed to a single cause.

This makes the O-ring harder and less elastic. In the laboratory, such a sealing element shows a correspondingly higher compression set. For the sealing point, this means that the O-ring can no longer compensate for small changes in the positioning of the components in relation to each other, for example.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At high temperatures, the ambient media also have a more aggressive effect on elastomers.

The picture cannot be reduced to the conditions during standard operation alone. High temperatures also play an important role in connection with cleaning processes and the respective media.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>CIP and SIP procedure<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take food production, for example: O-rings come into contact with vegetable and animal oils and fats or flavorings. They already represent a high level of stress in themselves. At the same time, this industry often uses superheated steam processes to combat the growth of microorganisms in the plant.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">These cleaning and sterilization processes are also used in beverage production and the pharmaceutical industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These CIP (Cleaning in Place) and SIP (Sterilization in Place) processes combine chemically effective cleaning media with hot steam. Both put O-ring materials to the test. Hygienic design requirements for such production systems also stipulate a special design for the installation spaces.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reduction of dead spaces leads to grooves with a higher degree of filling. If the seals contract again after heat-induced expansion, parts may be sheared off.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Changed operating conditions<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When designing a seal, engineers ideally take all operating conditions into account. They weigh up temperatures, media and pressures and select a suitable seal. This includes not only the selection of a suitable O-ring material, but also the dimensions of the seal. They also define the appropriate design of the installation groove.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this care is only effective as long as the assumptions are confirmed in real operation. Although this is often the case initially, the operating parameters of machines and systems often change later on.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adjustments in process control can result not only in higher temperatures, but also in the use of chemically more aggressive media. This means that previously adequate O-rings often reach their load limit.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dad2a4a elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"dad2a4a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"10\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-635d3aab elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"635d3aab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43838ef6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"43838ef6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span style=\"background-color:#fe5050;color: #ffffff;padding: 5px\">#10<\/span> Solution approaches for practice<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e9c5f54 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"3e9c5f54\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ff10a0f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4ff10a0f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To prevent heat-related damage to O-rings, you should take two measures: If a seal fails, the analysis shows which damage mechanisms are acting on the O-ring.
