FKM rubber balls Application
FKM rubber balls are widely used as air pump valve balls, pump/valve check sealing elements and pipeline sealing components, suitable for contact with oils, fuels, many acids, alkalis and chemical media. With a typical service temperature range of -20°C to +200°C, they can serve as sealing elements in high-temperature or corrosive media environments. Specific compliant compounds are also available for food and pharmaceutical sanitary sealing and for screen-cleaning balls in chemical and mining screening equipment, with final selection to be verified against the actual medium and operating conditions.
Valves & Pumps:FKM balls provide reliable sealing and rebound under repeated compression, high temperature and chemical exposure.
Pipe and Pipeline Sealing:helping maintain reliable shut-off and leakage control under high-temperature, oil and chemical exposure.
Screen Cleaning and Vibrating Screen balls:help prevent mesh blinding and keep material flow consistent, while resisting heat, oils and chemicals
High Temperature and Corrosive Media:FKM rubber balls are used in high-temperature and corrosive media environments to provide durable sealing and resistance to heat, acids, alkalis and aggressive chemicals.
Food and Pharmaceutical Sanitary Seals:FKM rubber balls in FDA/USP Class VI/3A compliant compounds are used for food and pharmaceutical sanitary seals, supporting clean and reliable sealing in processing and dispensing equipment.

Diameter Tolerance: Difference between the measured and nominal diameter; ground balls approximately ±0.003 in (±0.08 mm), with precision grinding available down to ±0.03 mm.
Sphericity: Degree to which the diameter remains consistent in all directions (total error), approximately 0.003 in for ground balls — greater roundness provides more uniform sealing.
Surface Roughness: Surface finish smoothness (Ra/μin); a smoother surface helps reduce leakage and wear.
Mold Line / Flash: Grinding removes parting lines and flash, eliminating localized leak paths.
Dimensional Stability: Ability to resist thermal expansion, media swelling and compression set.
