CONNECTORS AND SEALING SOLUTIONS
Freudenberg Flow Technologies is a leader in elastomer and advanced thermoplastics materials technology, offering FF/HH materials qualified to API-6A 21st ed. F.1.13.5.2 and ISO 10423 F.1.11 standards.
All FF/HH qualified materials are exposed to a chemically aggressive environment for more than 160 hours at the maximum specified temperature rating for the temperature classification being tested or the required maximum temperature of the seal application.
A specific example of certified performance of our FF/HH compounds is the Gazguard® 728 compound, which has been certified to material class FF/HH per ISO 10423:2009 and ANSI/API Specification 6A 21st Ed. within gas mixtures of:
In addition, S Seals and FS Seals composed of Gazguard® 728 have achieved 10,000 psi PR2 Certification to ISO 10423 F1.11 in various sizes and temperature ranges.
