Military Specification M83461/1-012 O-Ring

M83461-1-012, as the name suggest, is an O-ring composed of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR). It has a 3/8" inner diameter, a 1/2"outer diameter, and a 1/16" width. NBR is used in aviation to make anything from fuel handling hoses to grommets. By withstanding a wide temperature range, NBR is a perfect material for aeronautical applications, especially aircraft hydraulic fluids. In addition, these O-rings provide a greater dynamic performance than MS28775 O-rings. that's because they offer superior resistance to petroleum-based products, most silicone fluids, and fuels. If that's not enough, M83461-1-012 offers excellent high tensile strength, evident by its resistance to tear and abrasion. Check the features for more details.

Ever wondered what the M refers to in many parts numbers? SkyGeek does and because we are geeks, it's in our nature to find out. It stands for Military, which means the part has been both tested and certified by US Armed Forces and has met or exceeded such standards. Pretty cool, huh? If the military approves then so do we and so will you.
