  need for several products and one among them is a
  seal. The most commonly found seals are O-rings.
  They have a simple design yet are able to serve
  the purpose really well. By definition, O-ring is
  an object made out of an elastomer and resembles
  the shape of a doughnut.
• Lusida Rubber Company manufactures these rings
  and supplies them to various industries. O-rings
  are not costly but at the same time they are
  quite easy to install. The sealing ability of
  these rings is superb. O-rings are divided into
  two main types and they are
• Static seals
