X-rings are commonly used as an alternative seal solution to O-rings in reciprocating dynamic or rotary applications.X-rings can typically be retrofitted into existing O-ring grooves with the size often based around the original O-ring size. The square profile of the X-ring stops the seal from twisting and rolling, preventing spiral failure often seen when O-rings are used in reciprocating applications.PPE manufactures X-rings to standard O-ring sizes, as well as custom sizes for specific applications.
