NBR (Nitrile) O-Ring Seal

Temperature range, chemical and fluid compatibility, hardness and the full dimensional range for this compound.

NBR (Nitrile) O-Ring Seal are supplied to acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, typically 70 Shore A. Corrosion behaviour is good resistance to mineral oil, grease and hydraulic fluid; poor in ozone and weathering, the material is non-magnetic, and the usable service range is approx. -30 °C to +100 °C. In practice this grade is the default elastomer for oil and hydraulic sealing.

Material page for o-ring seal in NBR (Nitrile) (acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, typically 70 Shore A). The sizes below are the ones we supply; there is no published dimensional standard for this article, so the table rather than a standard number is what to quote. Corrosion behaviour is good resistance to mineral oil, grease and hydraulic fluid; poor in ozone and weathering and the service range is approx. -30 °C to +100 °C.

Why Choose NBR (Nitrile) for O-Ring Seal — ISO / DIN (Series 160)

The default elastomer for oil and hydraulic sealing. For o-ring seal — iso / din (series 160), this matters when good resistance to mineral oil, grease and hydraulic fluid; poor in ozone and weathering is the primary requirement.

Corrosion Behavior in Service

Carbon and alloy steel o-ring seal — iso / din (series 160) require a coating for corrosion protection. Zinc plating (with or without passivation) is the most common; hot-dip galvanizing is used for outdoor structural service; black-oxide is mainly a tarnish-prevention finish for tool-room use.

Comparable Grades

For o-ring seal — iso / din (series 160), consider FKM where temperature or chemical exposure is higher, or EPDM where the medium is water, steam or brake fluid rather than oil. Elastomer selection is decided by the medium, the temperature range and whether the seal is static or dynamic — not by strength.

Need this seal in a grade that is not listed?

Nbr is one of the grades the catalog describes. A special seal is almost always a compound change rather than a size change — the same dimensions in a material that survives the medium.

Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.

Applications & Industries

O-Ring Seal are bought for a small number of well-defined jobs. These are the ones we ship them for. Stocked from 5 to 100 (inside diameter).

Industries that specify O-Ring Seal

  • Process & food equipment Sealing at joints that are cleaned and inspected.
  • Hydraulics & pneumatics Static and dynamic sealing in cylinders and valve bodies.

Typical applications

  • excluding dust and moisture from a housing
  • sealing a joint against fluid or air pressure

Service conditions to specify against

Sealed joints
Used where the fixing has to keep water or air out as well as hold — the elastomer, not the fastener, decides service life.

Inside the plant

Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

  1. Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine
    01

    Cold heading

    Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail.

    Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.

  2. Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads
    02

    Thread rolling

    Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch.

    Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.

  3. Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment
    03

    Heat treatment

    Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it.

    Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.

  4. Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket
    04

    Surface treatment

    Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list.

    Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much compression should NBR (Nitrile) o-ring seal — iso / din (series 160) see?

The groove or gland decides it, not the seal: a static radial seal is normally designed for roughly 15–30% compression on the section, and a dynamic one for less. Give us the groove dimensions and the pressure and we will confirm the section against them.

What's the service temperature limit for NBR (Nitrile)?

The practical service range is approx. -30 °C to +100 °C.

Are NBR (Nitrile) O-Ring Seal — ISO / DIN (Series 160) magnetic?

NBR (Nitrile) O-Ring Seal — ISO / DIN (Series 160) are non-magnetic.

What corrosion resistance do NBR (Nitrile) O-Ring Seal — ISO / DIN (Series 160) offer?

NBR (Nitrile) O-Ring Seal — ISO / DIN (Series 160) provide good resistance to mineral oil, grease and hydraulic fluid; poor in ozone and weathering with a service range of approx. -30 °C to +100 °C.
