Ordered as V4X40, this is a black Viton® (FKM) 75 Shore A O-Ring built to an inside diameter of 40 mm (1.575 in), a cross section of 4 mm (0.157 in), and an outside diameter of 48 mm (1.89 in). The o-ring remains the most cost-effective sealing element available for pressurized assemblies.
Expect good resistance to many acids, engine and transmission fluids, and petroleum oils and fuels. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Viton® (FKM) is valued for long service life in hot, chemically aggressive environments and very low compression set at elevated temperature. Rated temperature range runs from -15°F (-26.1°C) to 400°F (204.4°C) in continuous service. Applications involving amines or ketones and esters call for a different compound.
You will find this material specified across aerospace, chemical processing, and oil and gas.
Order part number V4X40, sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 3.1283 g. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation. If you need a size, durometer or compound that is not listed, APG can cross-reference from a print, a sample or a competitor part number.
