Know the applications of VITON / FKM/ FPM o-rings and FEP/PFA SILICONE VMQ o-rings
VITON / FKM/ FPM o-rings are acknowledged for their outstanding resistance to high temperatures and many solvents. They have great resistance to ozone, oxygen, weather, mineral oil, hydraulic fluids, fuels, and aromatics, as well. This feature makes them occupy a vital position in a huge range of applications. Among them, these rings are largely used in automotive fuel handling systems as well as for sealing aircraft engines. The other uses of these o-rings include low compression set and high temperature applications. They naturally have wide exposure to almost all types of chemicals as well as in hard vacuum service situations. They will work well with the basic service temperature that ranges from -20°C to 205°C with the maximum short temperature periods of 230°C. VITON / FKM/ FPM o-rings are available in several diverse types and Shore Hardness. Some of the four common types of these o-rings used in different applications include Type A, Type B, Type F, and Type ETP. Type A
