Total control, guaranteed results: inside OringOne’s finished O-Ring laboratories

Precision, technology, and reliability in the service of quality

At OringOne, quality is not an option. It is a structured system that involves every phase of the production process. Within our OringOne and EZTRA facilities, we have established two specialized laboratories dedicated to the inspection of finished O-Rings. These labs are unique in their expertise, equipment, and methodology. Here, cutting-edge technology meets high precision measurement processes and highly qualified technical personnel.

Each finished O-Ring undergoes a complete cycle of technical inspections using ultra-precise measuring instruments, capable of detecting variations as small as 0.001 mm.

The work of our laboratories goes beyond final testing. We monitor every strategic phase of the O-Ring production process, using high performance compounds, state-of-the-art equipment, and methodologies that are constantly updated to comply with current standards.

Digital mapping: precision starts with the details

The first step in ensuring accurate control of industrial rubber products like O-Rings is digital mapping. Thanks to our dimensional measuring machine, we can precisely measure the inner diameter and outer diameter of the O-Ring. These data allow us to accurately calculate the radial cross section and the axial cross-section, key parameters for determining the correct functionality of the component in operation.

This activity forms the foundation of our inspection process: a crucial step to ensure that every rubber O-Ring complies with the required dimensional standards.

Hardness testing: for small and large O-Rings

After the dimensional inspection, the hardness test of the O-Ring represents the second essential phase. Using calibrated pressure, we measure the material’s resistance with certified durometers in M-IRHD and SHORE-A scale, suitable for small and large O-Rings.

This allows us to determine with extreme precision the hardness level of the compound, an important parameter to ensure the correct performance of the O-Ring.

Optical microscopes: excellence lies in the invisible details

When additional inspections are required during the production process, we perform checks using a bench-top optical microscope. This practical and immediate tool allows us to quickly detect any surface micro-defects, such as cuts, porosity, bubbles, or contamination, that could compromise the O Ring’s functionality.

For the final inspection phase on finished O-Rings, we use a high performance microscope, designed to provide even greater precision in detailed inspections. Thanks to this technical equipment, we can detect even the slightest imperfections, ensuring that each gasket fully complies with the required quality standards, even in the most critical applications.

Dynamometer: testing under extreme conditions

The final step in our inspection cycle is represented by mechanical testing performed with the dynamometer. This instrument allows us to simulate elongation and sealing conditions for real-world use, precisely measuring key parameters of the O-Ring’s mechanical behaviour:

• Elongation at break
• Breaking load
• 100% Modulus

These tests are essential to determine the mechanical resistance of our elastomers and their ability to maintain performance under particularly stressful operating conditions.

All our components are digitally tracked through an internal system that records every relevant piece of data, providing compliance and performance certifications for each batch. This ensures maximum reliability even in:

• ✅High-pressure applications
• ✅Aggressive chemical environments
• ✅Conditions with extreme thermal fluctuations

Individually tested finished O-Rings: choose certified reliability

Every day in our laboratories, we carry out meticulous inspections on finished O-Rings, ensuring that only compliant and certified components become part of our offering.

Our method is based on rigor, control, and precision, allowing us to deliver superior quality O-Rings, ready to face the challenges of the most demanding applications.
