The composition of FFKM O-ring/seal are typically made from perfluoroelastomer materials, which offer exceptional resistance to a wide range of harsh conditions and chemicals. One of the standout features of FFKM O-ring/seals is their exceptional chemical resistance. They can withstand the corrosive effects of a vast array of chemicals, including strong acids, bases, solvents, and other aggressive...

When designing a cryogenic seal, the first step is to determine the operating temperature range of the seal. Typically, cryogenic seals operate below -65 degrees Fahrenheit. When designing seals of this level (high temperatures are around 300 degrees Fahrenheit), it is necessary to understand what degree of leakage control is required on the low temp end. However, there may be an allowable leakage...

Backup rings play a vital role in preserving the integrity of seals within pressurized aerospace hydraulic systems, minimizing leakage, and extending the lifespan of the components they protect. What are Backup Rings? The back up ring material could be PEEK, modified PTFE. PEEK™ back-up rings are designed to prevent extrusion in elastomer O-ring sealing systems. These rings are designed to close o...
