AS568-242 FFKM O-Ring — 101.19 × 3.53 mm
A robust, high-squeeze section for demanding static and reciprocating seals in larger equipment. With an inside diameter of 101.19 mm and a 3.53 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.

Oil & gas and refining
Sour gas, amines, hydrocarbons and high-pressure steam are classic FFKM territory. This seal retains integrity in downhole tools, wellhead assemblies and sub-sea connectors, delivering predictable, long service life in the harshest production environments.
Why Aperflu 2275 FFKM
The compound is moulded, de-flashed and inspected to a burr-free finish, and every batch ships with its own certificate of analysis for traceability.
Typical applications
Hydraulic cylinders, chemical process valves, wellhead and downhole tooling, where Aperflu 2275 outperforms FKM and EPDM in aggressive media and elevated temperature.
