AS568-167 FFKM O-Ring — 177.47 × 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 177.47 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.

Pharmaceutical and food processing
Steam-in-place and clean-in-place cycles, aggressive cleaning agents and potent active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) demand a seal that stays inert and dimensionally stable. Aperflu 2275 is suited to product-contact and CIP/SIP duties where extractables must be kept to a minimum.
Why Aperflu 2275 FFKM
Compared with bisphenol-cured FKM, peroxide-cured FFKM keeps its sealing force longer at temperature — critical for static and slow-dynamic duty in chemical service.
Typical applications
General machinery, pumps, compressors, gearboxes and process connections, where Aperflu 2275 outperforms FKM and EPDM in aggressive media and elevated temperature.
