568-039 FKM 75 SQUARE CUT RINGS

Part number SV70039 is an AS568-039 black Viton® (FKM) 70 Shore A Square-Cut Ring built to an inside diameter of 2.739 in (69.57 mm), a cross section of 0.07 in (1.78 mm), and an outside diameter of 2.879 in (73.13 mm). A square-cut ring provides an economical lathe-cut alternative where a moulded o-ring is not required.

Viton® (FKM) is specified here for outstanding high-temperature capability and industry benchmark where nitrile reaches its thermal limit. The compound resists engine and transmission fluids, chlorinated solvents, and many acids. Continuous operating temperature is published at -15°F (-26.1°C) to 400°F (204.4°C). Exposure to ketones and esters or low-molecular-weight organic acids will shorten service life. The profile itself contributes a flat contact band that spreads sealing load across a wider area and a rectangular section that will not roll in the groove. Note that a square section is less suited to high-speed rotary service, where the larger contact area raises friction and heat.

It sees regular use in oil and gas, aerospace, and automotive fuel systems.

SV70039 ships individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 2 3/4 inch. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application.
