AS568-016 FFKM O-Ring — 15.6 × 1.78 mm
A compact, low-squeeze section for light-duty static and slow dynamic seals in smaller bore assemblies. With an inside diameter of 15.6 mm and a 1.78 mm cross section, this is a small-bore seal for compact assemblies and small-bore equipment. Moulded from Aperflu 2275 perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) for continuous service up to 200 °C, this seal resists hot acids, caustics, solvents, fuels and steam.
