Standard O-Rings supplied with Parker tube fittings
and adapters are 90 durometer hard nitrile (Buna-N)
Parker compound #N0552 or similar. These O-Rings are well
suited for most industrial hydraulic and pneumatic
systems. They have high extrusion resistance making them
suitable for very high pressure static applications. Optional
high temperature fluorocarbon, Parker compound #V0894,
is also available for higher temperature specifications.
O-Rings for other than normal hydraulic media or
higher temperature applications can be selected from the
following chart. The chart should be used only as a general
guide. Before making final selection for a given application,
it is recommended that appropriate tests be conducted to
assure compatibility with the fluid, temperature, pressure
and other environmental conditions.
For fluids not shown in the chart, please contact the Tube
Fittings Division.
