Parker Urethane (AU) O-Ring Material Description:
Urethane O-Rings provide strength and wear resistance greater than your typical rubber materials and are good for some higher pressure applications. The material is less elastic and has limitations when it comes to some physical charachteristics. The strong abrasion resistance make it a good consideration for tube fittings and threaded applications.

Parker Urethane (AU) O-Ring Compound Numbering System:
Parker has one type of nomenclature used to reference Urethane (AU) products.
| P |
| Polymer Code (Single Letter) |
| 0642 |
| Sequence Number (Four Digits) |
| -70 |
| Durometer Indicator (Two Digits) |
| Hardness (Shore A) Range |
| 65 - 75 |
Temperature ranges will apply to the majority of media for which the material is potentially recommended. With some media however, the service temperature range may be significantly different. ALWAYS TEST UNDER ACUTAL SERVICE CONDITIONS.
ESP’s shelf life recommendation is based on the ARP 5316 standard and intended to be utilized by those organizations who 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.
