The Parker O-Ring Handbook has become a fixture on the reference shelves of engineers worldwide. This book contains extensive information about the properties of basic sealing elastomers, as well as examples of typical o-ring applications, fundamentals of static and dynamic seal design and o-ring failure modes.

This 36-page guide provides technical performance characteristics for latest elastomeric o-ring products.

This 28-page guide provides useful information about Spring Energized PTFE Seals & how your application could benefit.

This 54-page guide discusses proper gasket installation and important considerations when using gaskets.

This 42-page guide describes the design principles behind why and how PTFE rotary lip seals work.

This intro to perfluoroelastomers (FFKM) discusses this popular material which has improved resistance to temperatures and chemicals. It's a popular choice for demanding applications.

Seals made from FFKM have become common in the semiconductor industry due to their high temp capabilities and lower contamination and chemical resistance.

Some instrument seals are subjected to high temperatures, harsh chemicals, and aggressive cleaning solutions. This guide discusses In-Line Process Applications, Laboratory Equipment, and more.

Perfluoroelastomers used in the semiconductor industry are designed to meet the exacting performance requirements of integrated circuit manufacturers. But elastomers can’t solve every sealing application, nor do they last forever.

Expansion joints are built to expand, contract and adjust without straining or breaking piping or ducting. This guide highlights several factors to consider when selecting an expansion joints.

This guide discusses the importance of inspecting your plant's expansion joints as well as highlighting failure analysis of rubber expansion joints and some of the leading causes of joint failure.

This introduction includes Rod Seals, Symmetrical Seals, Piston Seals, Wipers, and many more to help you better understand which might be best for your application.
