hello, for the Severin KV8090 I can not find replacement O-rings for brew group and upper piston. 3 pieces three year old Oringe I have measured with the sliding gauge: 37.7x3.2mm. Possibly they are already shrunk? At a foreign spare parts shop (identical in construction Turmix Finessa) O-rings with 36,8x3,3 mm were offered. The groove diameter at the piston is measured approx. 37,7mm.
But what is correct now? I have already installed 37.69x3.53, but this soon braked the piston too much. The smaller standard dimension would be 34,52x3,53mm. Due to the elongation by 9% to 37.7 mm in the installed state, the cross-section is reduced to a cord dimension of approx. 3.33 mm (according to a manufacturer's table from Parker).
This would be very close to the cord dimension of 3.2 mm that I measured. Is a permanent cross-sectional elongation of 9% problematic for silicone rings?
Anyway, the machine works with that now. Can I leave the O-ring with the standard size 34.52x3.53 in with a clear conscience? Otherwise I don't know where to get suitable seals.
