O-RING, DIP STICK

$0.88

Description

Purpose: The primary function of the O-ring for a dip stick is to prevent the leakage of fluids, such as engine oil or hydraulic fluid, from the dipstick tube or housing, ensuring accurate fluid level readings and preventing contamination of the system.
Material Composition: O-rings for dip sticks are typically made from durable elastomeric materials such as rubber or silicone, chosen for their resilience, flexibility, and resistance to fluids and temperature variations.
Design: The O-ring is designed to fit snugly around the dip stick, creating a tight seal against the inner wall of the dipstick tube or housing. It may feature a round or square cross-sectional shape, depending on the design of the dip stick and tube.
Installation: During assembly or maintenance, the O-ring is placed onto the dip stick before insertion into the dipstick tube or housing. Proper positioning and compression of the O-ring ensure a secure and leak-proof seal.
Maintenance: Regular inspection of the O-ring is important to check for signs of wear, damage, or deterioration. Worn or damaged O-rings should be promptly replaced to maintain sealing effectiveness and prevent fluid leaks.
