    QUALITY SEALS

    O-RING SHELF LIFE CHART


    In 1998, the Society of Aerospace Engineers (SAE) issued Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP)
    5316. It was intended to fully replace Mil-HDBK-695C as the industry standard for the shelf life of
    aerospace elastomeric seals. However, ARP 5316 can also be used as a useful guideline for shelf life
    of many industrial and commercial grade elastomers as well.
    The information in ARP 5316, and the chart below, is intended to be utilized by those organizations
    that do not already have specific recommendations for the control of elastomeric seals. It should be
    noted that the packaging of the elastomeric seals prior to assembly into a product is an integral part
    of the controlled storage procedure. It provides a positive means of product identity from the time
    of manufacture, to the time of assembly.
    ARP 5316 does not establish limitations for storage times in assembled components, nor does it in
    any way provide a guideline for the operating lifespan of a particular compound.

    Note: The data shown here are shown as an engineering guide only and should not be
    used for the purpose of establishing performance limits. These values were obtained
    using established standard test procedures and are believed to be reliable. However, due
    to the variables that may be encountered in actual use, it is always advisable to test the
    material under actual service conditions before specification.
