How does an O-ring work?

[KTOninjaSNIPER]

how bout it skeet. ive been wantin to ask but fear if i do in person ill never make it home that day and i too will get an amber alert put out for me like thomas did.

any1 else feel free to try to answer but the question is mainly geared toward skeeter.

[glkbigbk]

you wont get an amber alert if your over 18, your not considered a child anymore

[PBMainiac3]

wait, you are talking about the O-rings that seal the connection between a one object and another (i.e. a tank and an asa), right?

[Rapchizzle]

yes. he is.

[PBMainiac3]

I see, and what is there not to understand about them? They are quite simple I believe.

[Paintbala4life]

ask skeeter for a full explanation...

casey is a "grown ass man". (his words on saturday).

quite the contrary, a very in depth and SEVERAL HOUR LONG response fully explains the intricate desgin of an o-ring, but skeeter needs a whiteboard to explain entirely

not the only time casey has used that phrase

[PBMainiac3]

Well, they form a barrier between two harder surfaces. It seals a joint where a liquid or gas can leak out. When pressure is applied from the insode/outside, the o-ring will move accordingly and push up against whichever wall has less pressure, sealing it quite well.
So, an example would be the o-rings on the necks of tanks. The air pressure pushes the o-ring toward the butt of the tank (just a clear landmark). Also, the pin that prevents air from coming out of a filled tank has pressure behind it. The O-ring is rolled into position by the pressure, and pushed up against the wall, sealing the tank. The I-ring makes it so there is zero clearance for a leak to occur.

Visual aids would make this much easier to explain.

Oh yes Casey, one more thing: quite obviously 4 other people heave not answered your question so back the **** off.

good try but thats basic knowledge. not exactly what casey's looking for.

[PBMainiac3]

Well thank you for the recognition, may I inquire what Casey is looking for then?
more specific than an "How does an O-ring work?"

[glkbigbk]

the question is mainly geared toward skeeter.

there--to prevent further e-pwnage

QFT. I believe me and Brad were some of the first to hear this, and it has become a "right of passage" since.

:shocked7fl:

Believe it or not, I have never had the pleasure of sitting through the o-ring theory speech. I'll give you guys a secret.....When he starts talking about o-rings mention beer or boobs. Either one will get him off the subject quick.
