Material : Nitrile (NBR) 90 Shore
Additional Information
Nitrile is often referred to Buna (Buna-N) and NBR.
Nitrile elastomer being affordable is a common material widely used in the industry where sealing take place using O-Ring. It is popular in the industry due to it ability to withstand a wide range of temperature ranging from (-30`C to 100`C).
It has excellent resistance to petroleum application, it is rated good in the Gas impermeability. In addition Nitrile material are one of the best in its compression and abrasion resistance. The only down side of Nitrile have a poor ozone and weather resistance and only moderate resistance to high temperature.
However Nitrile are not a restricting factors in many applications.
Temperature Range
Low : -22`F / -30`C High: 212`F / 100`C
Overview on Application Rating for Material Nitrile (NBR)
Properties ( Rating )
Oils & Grease - Good
Tear Strength - Good
Fuel Resistance - Poor
Gas impermeability - Good
Compression - Excellent
Abrasion Resistance - Good
Other than the size and material type, there is one final option that you need to take in consideration. And that is the Durometer. Durometer are being classify as an industry standard to measure the elastomer hardness. Durometer is measured and listed in accordance with Shore A scale. Typical standard hardness for the elastomer are 70 shore, 75 shore and 90 shore to choose from depending on the material that you are using. The higher the value of the shore indicates that the material you are using is harder. Durometer is also generally stated and accepted with a "+/- 5" tolerance.
Primary Usage
O-Rings and rubber seals are generally used for:
Tips for installation of an O-ring
O-rings need to be installed properly for a perfect fit and sealing. It is important that you install the O-ring in a prescribed manner to ensure your application continues to function properly. You will also ensure you increase the life of the application.
So how do you install an O-ring?
The process of installing an O-ring into a male gland is an intricate affair that should be carefully undertaken. Glide it along the shaft so as it reaches the gland. At that point, it should easily snap into place. Simple as it might sound, a number of steps will ensure that the O-ring doesn't get damaged.
If you want to install an O-ring correctly and within a short time, here are steps to follow:
The threading of the shaft has the potential of tearing the rubber seal. Cover the threads using a masking tape and then lubricate them to allow for easy passage of the O-ring. The aim is to have the O-ring slide through without getting torn.
That's a tip that will save you the stress of a torn O-ring. In fact, running the O-ring over jagged or sharp objects could get it torn. You may not be able to notice some of these tears. That's why you should ensure you prevent them from occurring in the first place.
You will have to stretch the O-ring over the shaft. Ensure you do it evenly. Pulling from one side is a no-no. If anything, you should stretch the O-ring as little as possible. You will not just get a tighter grip but added security too.
Instead of rolling the O-ring down the shaft, slide it. If you spiral wind or roll an O-ring, it cannot be properly installed. It will also not function optimally and can even end up being damaged. If you have a lubricant, apply it on the O-ring and you will keep it rolling.
Place the female component in a manner that allows its radius to go around the corner. This should be done when you are finalizing the installation process. Ensure the lead of this component is inside the chamfer. This is how you will be able to guarantee the safety of the O-ring.
For O-rings to perform optimally, they have to be properly installed. It doesn't just provide secure sealing but also increases the service life of the component together with the application. Don't compromise on this process.

Automotive Fastener Threads Types
The screw thread is said to have been invented c.400BC by Archytas of Tarentum, then developed by Archimedes who developed it to lift water. The Industrial Revolution of the 18th century required precision threads and the first screw-cutting lathe was made by Jesse Ramsden in 1770 – but until just over 150 years ago there were no standard threads and, when you wanted a bolt to secure two items together, you made your own and the thread you used probably wouldn't fit anything else.
Standardization of bolts and screws was obviously crucial to industrial development and Sir Joseph Whitworth brought the solution, proposing the world's first standardised thread in 1841, where the angle of the thread flanks was set at 55˚ and the number of threads per inch standardised for various diameters; this came to be used by all UK railway companies and was later, in 1908, adopted as a British Standard alongside BSF (British Standard Fine).
The Whitworth, or BSW (British Standard Whitworth), thread is specified at BS84:1956 and revolves around a 55˚ angle between the flanks, with rounded (radiused) roots and crests. Outside diameters of the bolts begin at 1/8in and the number of threads per inch is specified in whole numbers. The radius and depth relate to the pitch (pitch is the distance between each thread) as follows: Depth = 0.640327 Pitch, Radius = 0.137329 Pitch.
You will find Whitworth nuts and bolts on many British classic cars up to the 1950s, especially for larger components like bumper and engine mountings where coarser threads are appropriate. Whitworth threads are still widely used in Australia and are also found in non-automotive forms such as British Standard Pipe and British Standard Copper.
Inevitably, while Whitworth came to be widely adopted in Britain for components where a relatively coarse thread was acceptable, in other countries and industries different thread standards were springing up, such as the Edison, Lowenherz, Bodmer, PG, Siemens & Halske, Sewing-machine, Valve, CEI, VDI, French, Knuckle, Buttress and Trapezoidal threads. Thankfully few of these are found on cars, though if veteran cars are your speciality you have to be prepared for anything and have your own screw-cutting lathe to make up nuts and bolts if you want to match what is there…
In the USA in 1864, William Sellers proposed a standard based on a 60˚ angle with set thread pitches for various diameters, which became the American Standard Coarse (SC) and Fine (NF) series. It had flat roots and crests and so was easier to make than the rounded Whitworth form.
At the same time in Europe, Metric standards evolved, with angles as tight as 47.5˚ for the Swiss Thury thread. Eventually German and French standards converged in 1898 on the Système Internationale (SI) standardised international Metric thread, based on a 60˚ angle with flat crests and rounded roots.
The BA (British Association) thread was established for small-diameter bolts (below 1/4in) and was commonly used into the 1960s and beyond on ancillary components on cars, such as Lucas electrical and SU/Solex carburettor parts. It is still used on some precision machinery. It is a fine thread with 47.5˚ angle, radiused roots and crests and sizes from BA 0 (6mm diameter, 1mm pitch) to BA 23 (0.33mm diameter, 0.09mm pitch). Ratios are D=0.6P, R=2P/11.
BSF (British Standard Fine) has the same thread angle as Whitworth but a finer pitch and smaller thread depth. Like Whitworth, it can be found on many British cars up to the 1950s, especially on precision components in the engine and gearbox.
BSC (British Standard Cycle) was established in 1902 for bicycles and motorcycles; it uses a 60˚ thread angle with very fine thread pitch.
BSP (British Standard Pipe) evolved for the plumbing industry, still using the Whitworth principle; though naturally not widely used on cars, BSP threads can be found on water pumps and some SU carburettor/fuel pump components!
All the British Standard forms (Whitworth, Fine and Cycle) use the same set of spanners, generally marked just as Whitworth, though historically the size markings of BSF spanners were one smaller than Whitworth.
In November 1948, after experience of interchangeability problems during wartime, the UK, USA and Canada agreed on a standard Unified thread for all countries using Imperial measures (inches). Based on the Sellers thread, it used a 60˚ angle. The Unified Thread Standard (UTS) comprised UNC (coarse), UNF (fine, also sometimes called SAE for Society of Automotive Engineers) and, though seldom seen on cars, UNEF (extra fine). Just to complicate matters, there is also a UNS (special) designation for specialist applications, which can include automotive. Most UK and US car manufacturers switched to these over the next few years, though, where specific threaded components were carried over in production to later models, older threads continued to be used; this is especially common on long-lived models such as Land Rovers and Morgans.
At much the same time, the International Organisation for Standardization agreed the ISO Metric screw thread in ISO 68-1. ISO Metric threads have flat crests and radiused roots, and are simply designated by the major diameter followed by the pitch, i.e. M10x1.0 means the diameter is 10mm and pitch 1.0mm. Coarse threads are indicated by no pitch specification, so M10 = 10mm diameter, 1.5mm pitch. Formulae are D=0.54127P, R=0.14434P. To cater for all needs, there are also MF (Metric Fine) and MS (Metric Special) standards.
In 1965 the British Standards Institution declared BSW, BSF and BA obsolete, recommending use of the ISO (International Standards Organisation) Metric thread, or the ISO Unified thread, in their place.
AF is a common designation for spanners that actually denotes the width of the head of the bolt (across flats), not the diameter of the bolt itself. It is used for all Unified (UNF etc) thread bolts and nuts.
Tolerances are required, of course, in manufacture; basically bolt threads will always be equal to or smaller than the spec profile, nut threads will be equal to or greater than spec. There are, in fact, standards for this too, classed 1, 2 and 3, with 3 being the closest tolerance for maximum quality/strength, 2 being more commonly used and 1 relatively loose, for easy assembly and use in a dirty environment.
The end result of all this development and standardization is that for classic cars the range of tools required can be far greater and more confusing than the standardizers intended. Where some components have continued in production from much earlier models, it is possible to find Whitworth, Unified and Metric threads all on the same car, which therefore requires the use of three sets of spanners.
The answer is to keep a tool kit for the car that only contains the actual spanners you have previously needed to use on that car, rather than three complete sets of sockets and spanners – plus a couple of good-quality adjustables just in case you've missed one!

At IPS, Lacy MacAuley writes:
The hotel worker IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn allegedly sexually assaulted likely suffered in her home country as a result of IMF policies, like so many of the world's poor.
Last month, I helped lead a march of hundreds of people to protest what we consider to be the International Monetary Fund's criminal behavior during its yearly spring summit with the World Bank. Along with others, I raised my voice to say, "Arrest the IMF!"
Now, Strauss-Kahn is in a jail cell. According to witnesses and other evidence, he sexually assaulted a female hotel worker in a shockingly violent act in a posh suite at the Manhattan Sofitel hotel. When the worker he allegedly attacked bravely broke free, Strauss-Kahn fled the scene, leaving behind personal items such as his mobile phone. The worker, who is an immigrant from the West African nation of Guinea, immediately told others what had happened to her. Law enforcement personnel caught up with him at JFK airport and pulled him off of the airplane minutes before his flight to Paris was scheduled to depart.
While the alleged details are shocking, it's no surprise to me that an IMF chief would exhibit violent, sociopathic behavior. After all, the IMF's austerity policies have assaulted poor countries for years.

Contact Us
Prior to your call, you will also need to contact your physician's office to get the specific diagnosis or procedure description.
If you are insured, it is important that you contact your insurance company to ensure that the services required are "covered services." If you are uninsured, we may apply a discount on certain services.
When you call our customer representatives, please have the following information available, so that we can provide you with the most accurate estimate possible:
- Description of services needed - We will need to know as much information as possible about the specific services as described by your physician.
- Type of services needed - We need to know if you will be admitted to the hospital as an inpatient overnight, or if you are expected to be treated on an outpatient basis.
- Physician/Specialist Name - For example, if you are having surgery, we will want to know the surgeon's name.
If you have insurance, you will also need:
- Your Insurance Card - Please have your card available so that if needed, we can get the following information from you: name of insurance company, type of policy (e.g. HMO, PPO, POS, Indemnity), policy holder's name, group name and number, policy number and insurance company phone number.
- Policyholder's Personal Information - It is possible that the insurance company will want us to verify the Social Security Number and date of birth of the person who is named as the primary insurance policy holder.
During your call, we will learn more about you and your potential insurance benefits to provide the most accurate representation of your estimated financial obligation based on your coverage and plan.
- Use our online Patient Payment Estimator
- If you would like to obtain an estimate please call .
- If you have a question about your bill for a prior service, please call the customer service phone number and we would be happy to assist.
Can I get an exact pricing quote?
Unfortunately, no. We will do our best to provide you with a pricing range based on our hospital's historical pricing for comparable services. Price quotes are not guaranteed since the services used to compute the quote can vary from services you receive due to treatment decisions, unforeseen complications, additional tests or services ordered by your physician, and variation in the clinical needs of each patient.
What is not included in our estimates?
The estimates provided are only related to your hospital bill. Your personal physician or other physicians providing you with services related to your hospital stay or visit will bill you separately. This can include fees related to specialists, anesthesiologists, pathologists and radiologists.
Independent laboratory and radiology services will also bill you separately for reading and interpreting EKGs, X-rays, EEGs and lab work. If you have questions about those bills, please call the number printed on their statements.

chalkboard place mat giveawayFriday, December 13, 2013
Elsie from the Lilly Brush told me that she likes to write questions on each place mat. Then, during dinner, you get to answer the question on your place mat. LOVE THAT!
I also like to pick a number and a direction. (To the left or to the right.) Then, count that number around. Whoever you land on, write something nice about that person. It's really great when they land on themselves.
If interested in receiving a set of the chalkboard place mats, please leave a comment here before Monday, December 16, 9am EST and I'll have the random number generator choose a winner.

text: Back Shin Splints What are shin splints? Shin splints refers to pain and tenderness along or just behind the large bone in the lower leg (the tibia). Shin splints, also called medial tibia stress syndrome, usually develop after rigorous exercise, sports, or repetitive activity. This repetitive activity can lead to inflammation of the muscles, tendons, and thin layer of tissue covering the bone (the periosteum) of the tibia, causing pain. What are the symptoms of shin splints? The following are the most common symptoms of shin splints. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: Pain felt on the front and outside of the shin. It's first felt when the heel touches the ground during running. Pain eventually becomes constant and the shin is painful to the touch. Pain that starts on the inside of the lower leg above the ankle. Pain becomes worse when standing on the toes or rolling the ankle inward. As the shin splint progresses, the severity of pain will increase, leading to inflammation. The symptoms of shin splints may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis. How are shin splints diagnosed? Diagnosis of a shin splint usually is confirmed with a complete medical history and physical examination. What is the treatment for shin splints? Specific treatment for shin splints will be determined by your doctor based on: Your age, overall health, and medical history Extent of the condition Type of shin splint Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, and therapies Expectation for the course of the condition Your opinion or preference The best course of treatment for shin splints is to discontinue any activity that's causing the condition, until the injury is healed. Other treatment may include: Stretching exercises Strengthening exercises Cold packs Medication, such as ibuprofen Running shoes with a rigid heel and special arch support Click here to view theOnline Resources of Women's Health

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — After more than a week in action, is a key feature of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul a success or a bust? Judging by the dearth of data, it's virtually impossible to say.
The federal government has released no comprehensive data on how many people have enrolled for health insurance using federally run exchanges, the online marketplaces being used in 36 states for residents to compare and buy insurance. In the 14 states running their own exchanges, the situation isn't much better.
Officials with California's exchange say it will be mid-November until they can say how many people signed up. In Oregon and Colorado, the official number of completed applications is zero. And in Minnesota, which billed itself as a leader in implementing the Affordable Care Act, officials won't release data until next week about the number of applications started and completed.
As a result, a nation obsessed with keeping score to determine winners and losers is finding it difficult to pass immediate judgment on a law that will in large part define the president's legacy.
"Obamacare has a lot of cynics in this country, and it needs to get off to a better start than what we see so far if it's going to be a success," said Bob Laszewski, a Washington, D.C.-based health care industry consultant.
Laszewski suspects the lack of data conceals an extremely slow start thanks to widely reported technical problems.
MNsure, Minnesota's online insurance marketplace, reported more than 10,000 accounts had been initiated as of Thursday, said April Todd-Malmlov, the exchange's director. But enrollment figures won't be available until Wednesday. She said some users inadvertently submitted multiple applications that need to be consolidated.
Similar problems abound. Many states running their own exchanges haven't released initial enrollment data, and only a handful are providing a detailed picture of applicants and the plans they are choosing.
Oregon, another state that embraced the law, hasn't even opened enrollment because its software can't determine eligibility for Medicaid or for tax credits that help pay for insurance. Vermont's system is so buggy that officials are issuing paper applications, even though the thinly populated state received $171 million — among the largest amounts in federal grants — to run its exchange and upgrade technology.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which is overseeing the federally run exchanges, doesn't expect to release enrollment data until mid-November. But scattered reports from those states aren't encouraging. For example, Delaware had yet to confirm a single enrollment by Thursday, and many Florida groups designated to help people sign up say they still can't complete the enrollment process online.
The Obama administration has worked feverishly to fix the website delays, frozen screens and other glitches that they attributed to the high level of consumer interest, not software or design issues. But independent experts said it's probably a combination of all those factors, noting that a high volume of users tends to expose software issues undetected by testing.
The federal exchanges, for instance, require users to create accounts before they can browse for insurance plans, adding to website volume. Most e-commerce sites, and several state-run health insurance marketplaces, allow consumers to window shop without an account. An HHS spokeswoman said the agency required consumer accounts so people would know whether they were eligible for subsidies before shopping.
Data is coming from insurance companies in some states, though it largely shows only a trickle of enrollment. Those include Vantage Health Plan, one of four companies offering plans through Louisiana's exchange that reported enrolling 12 people, and CoOportunity Health, which reported five enrollees in Iowa and nine in Nebraska as of mid-week.
"I am very worried that people will lose faith in the system," said John Foley, an attorney helping Florida residents navigate the system. "Clearly we are losing most if not all of the momentum that was built up leading to open enrollment."
One major exception is Kentucky, where 18,351 people had enrolled by Wednesday. Despite relentless criticism from Kentucky Republican Sens. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear has been an enthusiastic adopter of the Affordable Care Act. He believes providing medical coverage can only benefit a state that ranks among the worst in nearly every health measure.
"These people are our friends and neighbors," Beshear said. "They roll the dice and pray they don't get sick."
Kentucky is among the few states that have released information about enrollees, such as their age, family size or employment status. Also largely unknown is what types of coverage are being purchased: lower-end plans with affordable premiums but high deductibles, or more expensive plans with lower deductibles?
A few other state-run exchanges have reported early activity, with the leader being New York, where 40,000 applicants processed by Wednesday. In California, the nation's most populous state, 16,300 applications had been completed by Tuesday — but that was less than in Kentucky, a state with one-tenth the number of uninsured people than California.
But industry insiders say the enrollment system is starting to work more smoothly.
"Going into this, (insurers) were expecting to see some challenges," said Karen Ignagni, head of America's Health Insurance Plans, according to the insurance industry's primary lobbying group. "What people are pleased about is they are seeing progress. ... They would be more worried right now if they were not seeing progress."
