Bob,

Durometer (also called Shore hardness) is a measure of the hardness of
rubber and plastic. The higher the number the harder the material. If I
recall correctly most BUNA and neoprene rings have a durometer of about
70, give or take. Of course, if you want to order 10,000 of them you can
get any durometer you want!

Here is a link to a page that I found that had some good stats and links
about o-rings.

I appreciate your detailing the differences in o-rings. Such an
esoteric
subject! But what are you referring to with "durometer"? Just curious.
Thanks, Bob
