[0002] Sealing rings play a crucial role in many mechanical and hydraulic systems, and their performance directly affects the sealing performance and operating efficiency of the systems. Over time, the sealing rings may gradually age due to the influence of temperature, pressure, chemical environment or mechanical stress, resulting in changes in their physical and chemical properties. This aging may cause leakage, failure or equipment malfunctions. Through the aging test of the sealing rings, the durability and anti-aging ability of the sealing materials under different environmental conditions can be evaluated, providing an important basis for the design, material selection and maintenance strategy of the seals.
