How to choose an O-ring material

First exclude materials that are incompatible with the fluid, then check continuous and peak temperature, pressure, static or dynamic duty, hardness and regulatory requirements. A polymer family is a screening level; confirm the final compound with supplier data and representative fluid testing.
