The newly published fifth edition of James Walker's O-ring guide provides simplified design data plus concise information on materials to facilitate part selection for specification and ordering.
"With over seven million O-rings in stock at our automated warehouse, ready for same-day despatch, we can meet the vast majority of industry's immediate needs", reported Commercial Director Geoff Teasdale.
