1.Do not measure O-rings with a ruler.

2.Use a caliper to accurately get ID, OD and cross-section CS.

3. Rubber O-rings deform easily. Accurate measurement ensures proper fit and prevents leakage.

Cross-Section Tolerance (CS Tolerance)

In AS568, cross-section tolerance is fixed by series and does not vary with inside diameter. Each dash-number series corresponds to a nominal cross-section.

Inside Diameter Tolerance (ID Tolerance)

Unlike cross-section tolerance, ID tolerance widens in steps as the inside diameter increases.

Remark:AS568 tolerance control rests on two independent variables: cross-section tolerance is fixed by series, while ID tolerance widens with size. For any specific O-ring, the controlling tolerance values come from the dash-number dimensional table—not from a single universal tolerance figure.

Manufactured with attention to surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and cross-sectional consistency. Products are inspected for surface defects such as pores, burrs, and cracks according to applicable quality requirements.

Designed to resist ozone and aging, FKM O rings maintain reliable sealing performance over extended periods under suitable operating conditions, helping reduce replacement frequency.

FAQs
  • How do I select the correct FKM compound for my application?

    FKM compounds should be selected based on operating temperature, chemical media, pressure, hardness, and dynamic or static sealing conditions. Different formulations offer different levels of chemical resistance and low-temperature flexibility.

  • What is the difference between standard FKM and low-temperature FKM?

    Standard FKM grades generally provide excellent heat and chemical resistance, while low-temperature grades are formulated to maintain flexibility in colder environments. The suitable grade depends on the minimum operating temperature and sealing requirements.

  • How does compression set affect FKM O-ring sealing performance?

    Compression set measures the O-ring's inability to recover its original shape after prolonged compression. Excessive compression set can reduce contact pressure and cause leakage, especially under high-temperature, long-term static sealing conditions.

  • Can FKM O-rings be used in dynamic sealing applications?

    Yes. FKM O-rings can be used in certain reciprocating and rotary applications. However, friction, sliding speed, lubrication, surface finish, and heat generation must be considered to minimize wear and premature failure.

  • How do I determine the correct O-ring squeeze and gland dimensions?

    O-ring squeeze and gland dimensions depend on the cross-sectional diameter, application type, pressure, material hardness, and installation conditions. Proper groove design must also account for gland fill, thermal expansion, and extrusion clearance.

  • What media are NBR O-rings resistant to, and which media are not recommended?

    NBR has good resistance to mineral oils, lubricating oils, hydraulic oils, diesel, gasoline and many greases. It is not recommended for ketones (acetone, MEK), esters, aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene), strong acids, strong alkalis, strongly oxidizing media, or long-term ozone/outdoor exposure. For such media, consider FKM, EPDM, PTFE or other suitable materials.

  • What causes FKM O-rings to swell, crack, or harden prematurely?

    Common causes include chemical incompatibility, excessive temperature, rapid decompression, improper material selection, and prolonged exposure to aggressive media. Failure analysis should consider the operating environment and the physical condition of the seal.

  • What are the common O-ring failure modes and how to identify them?

    - Compression set: flattened cross-section and flat contact surfaces, from heat or excessive squeeze; - Extrusion (nibbling): ragged, tattered edges on the low-pressure side, from excessive clearance or pressure; - Spiral failure: 45° spiral cuts on the surface, common in long-stroke pistons when parts slide and roll simultaneously; - Abrasion: scratched/worn surfaces from rough mating surfaces or poor lubrication; - Chemical attack: swelling, cracking, or softening from incompatible media.
