Retaining ring isO-ringThe "auxiliary seal" you know?
O-ringThe possibility of being squeezed out can be eliminated by using a retaining ring. At the same time, this will increase the pressure rating of the seal. The retaining ring is a support ring made of a sealing ring material that is harder than the O-ring itself, but has sufficient elasticity to deform under pressure to close the gap. The retaining ring is arranged on the opposite side of the compression side of the O-ring in the groove;
If the O-ring needs to be sealed under the action of two-way pressure, the retaining ring shall be set on both sides of the O-ring. The groove width shall be increased according to the number of retaining rings. Let me see what the sealing material for the retaining ring is?
Such as leather, hard rubber and PTFE, the latter is especially suitable for making some small-size retaining rings, and at the same time used in working environments and occasions such as dynamic sealing rings. He has the advantage of very low friction. The main requirement for a retaining ring is that it will not collapse or creep, which in turn depends to a large extent on the size of the ring to be used with the appropriate groove size.
The retaining ring can be a cut-out annular sealing ring cut off from a single ring. The cut of a retaining ring should not have any deflection or abnormal shape in other manufacturing aspects, which will cause local weakening, flattening from the surface under pressure, or making the O-ring seal likely to squeeze into the surface.

What is the rubber O-ring in the low pressure condition?
Basic knowledge about the sealing ring in low pressure conditions (working environment or occasions).
To the safety valve seal, for example, the safety valve seal is a system of working pressure automatically open and close the safety protection of a class of valves, according to the principle of action can be a direct acting safety valve seal and non-direct acting safety valve seal two categories, spring loaded safety valve seal ring and pilot safety valve seal ring are the two forms of the representative of the safety valve seal. Take these two commonly used safety valve seals as an example, let's take a look at the main application of rubber O-rings (working environment).
Safety valve sealing ring is an automatic valve, he does not rely on external driving force and sealing, the seat O-ring load mainly by the spring preload or the pressure of the working medium provided, O-ring load compared to other types of valves to small sealing ring more difficult.
When the set pressure is low, the spring preload or the pressure of the working medium is correspondingly small, the seat O-ring load is small, and other types of sealing forms are difficult to seal. Due to the high elasticity of the O-ring, the sealing mechanism can ensure that the sealing effect is achieved under a small negative load. Under the condition of low pressure, the O-ring seal selected at the valve seat is more reasonable.
