AS568-173 FFKM O-Ring — 215.57 × 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 215.57 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 active pharmaceutical ingredients demand a seal that stays inert and dimensionally stable. Aperflu 2275 suits product-contact and CIP/SIP duties.
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.
