Hi guys
I have a general query regarding Rubber O-rings.
For an application , say seal between 2 mating flanges of pipes ,with water pressure say about 10bars,
How exactly does the hardness of rubber effect the the sealing?
Is there a direct relation between hardness & strength ?
Can some one give me equations for the stress in O-rings when in compression?
A decent link would help, I have looked through stuff online , but still haven't found what I was looking for .
And how over tightening of the bolts on Flanges would effect the O-ring
