APG stocks the VQ4008, an AS568-008 black Viton® (FKM) 75 Shore A Quad-Ring with an inside diameter of 0.176 in (4.47 mm), a cross section of 0.07 in (1.78 mm), and an outside diameter of 0.316 in (8.03 mm). A quad-ring seats in a standard o-ring gland while offering improved dynamic performance.
As a material, Viton® (FKM) offers excellent resistance to compression set and permeation, long service life in hot, chemically aggressive environments. Expect good resistance to aggressive chemicals, aromatic hydrocarbons, and petroleum oils and fuels. Published continuous service range is -15°F (-26.1°C) to 400°F (204.4°C). Verify compatibility before use with hot water and steam or ketones and esters. The profile itself contributes a parting line located away from the sealing surface and lower compressive load required to achieve a seal.
You will find this material specified across high-temperature process equipment, automotive fuel systems, and oil and gas.
Reference part number VQ4008 when ordering; the item is sold individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 3/16 inch. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application.
