Abstract
Practical problems such as the replacement of one O-ring or valve seal on an old machine can be solved faster if a proper pre- selection of candidate elastomers is made. So, the aim of this article is to provide to the readers an easy to use tool for the pre- selection of main current elastomers and advice on fully testing prior formal selection.
Keywords:
