RUBBER SEAL – THE IMPORTANCE OF TOLERANCE 
                     RUBBER SEAL – THE IMPORTANCE OF
TOLERANCE 
A Rubber seal as the name suggests, is a seal that is made up of rubber and is used for
sealing specific parts of machines so as to prevent leakages of liquid and ages. There are
many  variants  of  rubbers  available  to  manufacture  these  seals.  Each  of  these  rubber
variants is suitable for specific applications and machine parts only. 
Factors for Selecting Particular Rubber Variants for Rubber Seal
 When selecting a particular type of rubber for making Rubber seal, it is important to 
take into account Rubber Standard Tolerances. These tolerance levels are earmarked by
the Rubber Associations in every country. Each of the rubber variants has different 
tolerance levels with regards to weight, time and materials that they would be used for. 
In fact, there are about 50 parameters that are used for determining the various 
tolerance levels. It is important that the clients work closely with the rubber seal 
manufacturers with regards to the tolerance levels. 
 While selecting a particular rubber variant for constructing a Rubber seal, it is 
important to note the change in the characteristics of the particular material when it 
goes through high temperature and pressure during the manufacturing process. Some 
rubber materials are more flexible than others. Some rubber materials shrink more 
with high temperature and pressure than others. How a particular rubber variant’s 
characteristics undergo changes during manufacturing and the ways the end product 
behaves, is also a very important factor that should be taken into account while 
selecting a particular rubber variant for constructing Rubber seal.
 The fact that temperature and humidity levels change every season should also be 
considered when selecting the rubber variant. Every type of rubber behaves differently 
with the change in outer temperature and humidity levels and this factor should not be 
missed for making the right choice of rubber variant.
