Seal Specifications

Black EPDM Seals
The black EPDM rubber seal is standard for stainless steel and carbon steel systems. EPDM is suitable for temperatures between -20 and +120 °C and for pressures up to a maximum of 230PSI / 16Bar. It has a host of applications and is used for drinking water, heating, cooling, steam, fire fighting, compressed air (oil free) and inert gas systems.

Green FKM Seals
The green FKM seal is used in high temperature or with harsh chemicals. It is suitable for temperatures between -20 and +220 °C and for pressures up to a maximum of 230PSI / 16Bar.

Yellow HNBR Seals
The yellow HNBR seals are used with our gas rated press-fit system as they are resistant to ageing and heat. HNBR stands for Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber and is also known as Highly Saturated Nitrile or HSN. They are suitable for temperatures between -20°C and +70°C, and for pressures up to a maximum of 70 PSI or 5Bar.

White STEAM Seals 

The White seals are used for saturated steam press-sit system installations suitable for temperatures between –20 and 165°C and a maximum pressure of 7 absolute bars. The STEAM seal is compatible with hydrocarbons, oils and other aggressive substances. Made of AISI 316L, one of the best stainless steel alloys, tested and approved by the main International institutions.
