Description of storage methods for high-pressure seals under various environmental conditions
High pressure seals and supports are often stored in spare parts for longer periods of time. The physical function of most rubber materials can change during storage and can no longer be used, such as: excessive hardness, softness, cracks and cracks or other methods of surface aging. These changes are the effect of an extra or multiple elements, o-rings such as deformation, oxygen, ozone, light, heat, humidity or oil and solvent. If some simple methods are adopted, the shelf life of these goods can be greatly extended. The key to the storage, cleaning and maintenance of elastomeric sealing elements has been developed in the world standard.
Recommended values for the shelf life of elastomers with different data grades in the standard. In order to adhere to the best physical and chemical functions of the components, the following rules should be followed:
heat
The storage temperature of the ambition is between +5 °C and +25 °C. It should be prevented from direct contact with the heat source. The o-ring seals are like boilers and radiators to prevent direct sunlight. If the temperature is lower than +5 ° C, the seal can be stiff, and should be taken care of during pick and place. The temperature of the seal should be raised to about 25 °C before use.
humidity
The relative humidity of the storage compartment should be less than 70%. Should be too moist or too monotonous.
Light
Seals such as rubber seals should be stored away from light. O-rings should not be stored in the sun or under artificial light that is rich in UV light. Parts are individually packaged in UV-resistant packaging.
It is recommended to cover the windows of the storage room with red or orange window cloth.
radiation
In the case of electronic radiation, the product should be specially protected against damage.
