Yamada 640138 O-Ring 64.5 mm x 3.0 mm, Buna-N for XDP Series
The Yamada 640138 is a genuine o-ring used in XDP Xtreme Duty Pro Series pumps. An air operated double diaphragm pump is a stack of machined parts clamped together, and every joint in that stack depends on an elastomer seal like this one sitting correctly in its groove and holding its shape under compression.
Elastomer seals fail in a predictable way. Heat and time take the flexibility out of the rubber, the ring takes a permanent set in the shape of its groove, and it stops pushing back against the surfaces it is meant to seal. Chemical attack does the same job faster, swelling the ring until it will not fit the groove or hardening it until it cracks. Either way the first sign is usually a weep rather than a spray, so it pays to look at the joint faces whenever the pump is apart.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes an O-ring swell?
Fluid absorption. The elastomer takes up the liquid it is sealing, grows, and eventually will not fit the groove. A ring noticeably larger than the new one is telling you the material choice is wrong for that service.
Q: Is a sleeve O-ring different from a body O-ring?
Functionally it is the same static seal, but the ones on the air valve sleeve see constant reversing pressure and a lot of cycles, so they are usually the first to go and are worth replacing whenever the air valve is stripped.
Q: Can I reuse the old O-ring if it looks fine?
It is a false economy. A ring that has been compressed for months has taken a set in the shape of its groove and no longer springs back against the sealing faces. It will often pass a dry test and then weep once the pump is running under pressure.
Q: How do I stop damaging the new ring during assembly?
Use a plastic or brass pick to remove the old one, clean the groove so no grit is trapped under the new ring, and lubricate it lightly with something compatible with the fluid before closing the joint. Most premature failures are assembly damage, not material failure.
