AS568-157 FFKM O-Ring — 113.97 × 2.62 mm

A balanced industrial section for static face, radial and slow rotary seals across a wide diameter range. With an inside diameter of 113.97 mm and a 2.62 mm cross section, this is a large-bore seal for large-bore machinery and process equipment. Moulded from Aperflu 2275 perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) for continuous service up to 200 °C, this seal resists hot acids, caustics, solvents, fuels and steam.

Metallurgy and steelmaking

Metallurgy and steelmaking — Aperflu 2275 FFKM O-ring AS568-157

Furnaces, casting lines, hydraulic systems and gas-supply equipment in hot, aggressive environments. Aperflu 2275 holds sealing force against heat, coolants and process gases where ordinary elastomers harden and crack.

Why Aperflu 2275 FFKM

Perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) is the most chemically and thermally resistant elastomer class available — rated for continuous use beyond 200 °C and stable against well over 1,600 chemicals, which is why it is specified where FKM, silicone and EPDM fail.

Typical applications

General machinery, pumps, compressors, gearboxes and process connections, where Aperflu 2275 outperforms FKM and EPDM in aggressive media and elevated temperature.

Chemical resistance

The fully fluorinated backbone of Aperflu 2275 resists the aggressive media that attack FKM, EPDM and silicone — including concentrated hydrochloric, nitric, sulfuric and glacial acetic acids, strong caustics, and a broad range of solvents and fuels. Refer to the rating table below for guidance, and confirm your exact media with our engineers.
