Fluororubber sealing rings can deform into recoverable bending and irrecoverable bending. Recoverable deformations can also be categorized into mild deformations, such as small strain, twist, and coaxiality; while severe deformations like wrinkles and gaps cannot be recovered. Mildly deformed rubber pads can resume their shape and be used normally, with the density closure action remaining intact.
However, after the curved rubber pad has been repaired, the sealing effect will be compromised, rendering it unusable. Let's master the technique to restore the curvature of deformed rubber pads.
Long-term storage of fluororubber seals can cause slight bending. How to restore them?
Remove the deformed rubber pad, quickly boil water, and pour it into the container.
Pour boiling water into the container and immerse the rubber pad into the boiling water.
After ten minutes of foaming, remove the rubber pad, it's good for advancement.
Enhanced extensibility in post-tensioned rubber pad repair prototypes, featuring slight bending.
The aforementioned method is only applicable for repairing the bending of rubber pads, such as minor deformation, where the structure and shape are not damaged by external forces.
