❓ Frequently Asked Questions About 2.4mm NBR O-Ring Seals
Why is 2.4mm considered the "versatile" cross-section? ⚖️
2.4mm O-rings offer the perfect balance for most general-purpose applications. They're thick enough to provide good extrusion resistance for medium-pressure applications (up to 1500 PSI), yet flexible enough for easy installation. This makes them suitable for automotive repairs, industrial maintenance, plumbing, and most DIY projects where you need reliable sealing without the stiffness of thicker O-rings.
What pressure can these 2.4mm O-rings handle? 💧
These 2.4mm medium-duty O-rings are rated for medium-pressure applications, typically handling pressures up to 1500 PSI (103 bar) with proper groove design. This makes them suitable for most automotive systems, hydraulic tools, industrial equipment, and plumbing applications. For higher pressure requirements, we recommend our thicker cross-section options (5mm or 7mm).
Are these suitable for gasoline and oil applications? ⛽
Absolutely! NBR (Nitrile) rubber is specifically formulated for petroleum-based products. These 2.4mm oil-resistant O-rings work excellently with gasoline, diesel, motor oil, transmission fluid, and most hydraulic fluids. They're an excellent choice for automotive fuel systems, industrial machinery, and any application involving petroleum products.
How do I choose between 2.4mm, 3.5mm, and 5mm O-rings? 📏
2.4mm is ideal for general-purpose, medium-pressure applications. 3.5mm offers more material for better wear resistance in dynamic applications. 5mm provides superior extrusion resistance for high-pressure systems. For most automotive repairs, plumbing, and general maintenance, 2.4mm O-rings provide the best balance of performance and ease of installation.
Do you offer these in assortment kits? 📦
Yes! We offer both individual sizes and comprehensive assortment kits. Our 2.4mm O-ring kits include the most popular sizes from our 7-200mm OD range, making them perfect for repair technicians, maintenance professionals, and DIY enthusiasts who need various sizes readily available for different projects.
