AS568-468 FFKM O-Ring — 494.16 × 6.99 mm
A very thick section for the largest diameters and most severe static sealing duties. With an inside diameter of 494.16 mm and a 6.99 mm cross section, this is a very-large seal for the largest diameters and heavy static service. Moulded from Aperflu 2275 perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) for continuous service up to 200 °C, this seal resists hot acids, caustics, solvents, fuels and steam.
