Metric O-Rings are employed in specialized applications and, like the name suggests, are standardized by metric dimensions. With a wide variety of sizes available, Metric O-Rings fill in the gaps left by the standardized AS568 o-ring chart. Metric O-Ring sizing is determined by the o-ring's inside diameter and cross section width. EP is also known as: Eythylene Propylene, EPR, EPDM, EPT, E.

EP is an elastomer which is characterized by wide range of applications and good chemical resistance. Ethylene propylene compounds have good resistance to detergents, alkalis, mild acids, greases, silicone oils, and alcohols.
