An O-ring is a circular-shaped elastomeric seal that is used to create a tight seal between two mating surfaces. It is typically made of rubber and is designed to be compressed between two surfaces to prevent fluid or gas leakage. The O-ring gets its name from its shape, which resembles the letter “O”. O-rings are widely used in many industries, including automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, and are known for their durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness.
