Ordered as 0297375, this is a black Viton® (FKM) 75 Shore A Square-Cut Cord Stock built to a cross section of 0.375 in (9.53 mm). The square-cut cord stock supplies profiled extrusion for grooves a round cord cannot fill.
As a material, Viton® (FKM) delivers outstanding high-temperature capability and very low compression set at elevated temperature. It resists many acids, aromatic hydrocarbons, and aggressive chemicals. It should not be specified for service in amines or low-molecular-weight organic acids. The profile itself contributes simple lathe-cut manufacture at low tooling cost and a flat contact band that spreads sealing load across a wider area. Note that a square section is less suited to high-speed rotary service, where the larger contact area raises friction and heat.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across oil and gas, semiconductor equipment, and automotive fuel systems.
Order part number 0297375, sold by the foot. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application. Not finding the exact configuration you need? APG cross-references from prints, samples and competitor part numbers.
