O-Rings come in a variety of sizes, durometers, and colors. It is vital to understand what all three of these factors mean and how they affect the application, equipment, and process.

There are various colors o-rings come in as each color has a secret meaning to it. The colors can indicate the type of material the O-Ring is based on, set by an industry standard. The industry standard was created throughout the years based on the common color these materials shipped with.
