Compression Set: the amount by which a ---- specimen fails to return to original shape after release of compressive load,

Memory: tendency of a ---- material to return to original shape after deformation,

-----: the change in the volume of a ---- article due to absorption of oil or other fluid,

Resilient ----: capable of returning to original size and shape after deformation,

Volume -----: increase in physical size caused by the action of a liquid,

Shrinkage: loss of volume after curing, or the decrease in volume of the ----, by a fluid.

Each Dash is a letter.

Durometer: Numerical scale of seal hardness,

Compression Set: the amount by which a seal specimen fails to return to original shape after release of compressive load,

Memory: tendency of a seal material to return to original shape after deformation,

swell: the change in the volume of a seal article due to absorption of oil or other fluid,

Resilient seal: capable of returning to original size and shape after deformation,

Volume swell: increase in physical size caused by the action of a liquid,

Shrinkage: loss of volume after curing, or the decrease in volume of the seal, by a fluid.
