High Pressure Encapsulated O-Rings FKM For Oxygenated Automobile
Fuels
FKM O-RINGS:
FKM® is the trade name for DuPont-Dow Elastomers Fluorocarbon or FKM
material. FKM® has a temperature range of -20F to +400F, and
provides excellent resistance to a wide variety of chemicals,
weather and conform to FDA requirements, making it ideal for use
with foods and medical devices.. The relatively high level of
fluorine in FKM® materials allows for exceptional resistance to
chemical attack, but with limited low temperature capabilities.
Intermittent exposure to +600F can be tolerated for brief periods
of time
FKM® O-rings have established new performance standards in advanced
fuel and engine systems, and provide improved system reliability
for extreme temperatures for fuels, oils, transmission fluids and
acid condensates. FKM® orings can help extend maintenance intervals
and protect against seal failure. Low temperature resistance is not
preferred in static applications for traditional FKM® o-rings , and
is limited to approximately -15°F (-26°C). When used in dynamic
applications, the low temperature is between 5°F and 0°F (-15°C and
-18°C). Gas permeability is low and similar to butyl rubber.
ASTM D1418 Designation: FKM
ASTM D2000/SAE Type, Class: HK
ORK Compound Designation: VT
Standard Color: Black
Description: Combining high temperature resistance with outstanding chemical
resistance, Fluorocarbon-based compounds approach the ideal for a
universal O-ring material.
Key Use(s): Seals for aircraft engines. Seals for automotive fuel handling
systems. High temperature/low compression set applications. Wide
chemical exposure situations. Hard vacuum service.
Temperature Range
Standard Compound: -13° to +446°F
Special Compound: -40° to +446°F
Hardness (Shore A): 55 to 90.
Features: High fluorine grades offer higher resistance to swell in high
octane and oxygenated fuel blends. This give superior performance
in Ethanol/Methanol blended gasoline. Base resistant grades offer
improved resistance to amine based oil protectants found in new
transmission oils. Also, improved resistant to steam for higher
temperature services. Low temperature bases can improve performance
to -40°F.
New Polymers being offered have improved chemical resistance and
low temperature performance.
FKM® Extreme™ ETP offers similar chemical compatibility as Kalrez™
with temperature performance with a TR(10) of -40°F and brittleness
to -76°.
Limitations: Fluorocarbons (FKM®s) are not recommended for exposure to ketones,
amines, low molecular weight esters and ethers, nitro hydrocarbons,
hot hydrofluoric or chlorosulfonic acids, or Skydrol® fluids. They
are also not recommended for situations requiring good low
temperature flexibility.
