AS568-277 FFKM O-Ring — 291.69 × 3.53 mm
A robust, high-squeeze section for demanding static and reciprocating seals in larger equipment. With an inside diameter of 291.69 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.

Chemical and petrochemical processing
Pumps, valves, reactors and dosing systems handling hot organic and inorganic acids, caustics, ketones, aldehydes, esters, ethers, alcohols, fuels and mixed process streams. Where FKM swells and degrades, this perfluoroelastomer keeps its sealing force and dimensional stability, extending mean time between repairs and cutting unplanned downtime.
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
Hydraulic cylinders, chemical process valves, wellhead and downhole tooling, where Aperflu 2275 outperforms FKM and EPDM in aggressive media and elevated temperature.
Compound properties
| Property | Typical value | Test method |
|---|---|---|
| Hardness | 70 – 71 Shore A | GB/T 39693.4 |
| Tensile strength | 21.2 – 21.8 MPa | GB/T 528 (dumbbell type 2) |
| Elongation at break | 155 – 170 % | GB/T 528 (dumbbell type 2) |
| Compression set, 200 °C × 70 h (25 %, method B) | 15 – 16 % | GB/T 7759.1 |
All values are typical. Every batch is shipped with an individual certificate of analysis and may differ from the typical values listed here.
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.
| Media group | Rating |
