The E6X48 is a black EPDM (EPR) 70 Shore A O-Ring with an inside diameter of 48 mm (1.89 in), a cross section of 6 mm (0.236 in), and an outside diameter of 60 mm (2.36 in). This o-ring compresses into its gland to block fluid or gas migration across a joint.
As a material, EPDM (EPR) is known for excellent hot water and steam resistance, strong performance in outdoor and exposed installations. Expect good resistance to dilute acids and alkalis, brake fluid, and water and steam. Published continuous service range is -65°F (-53.9°C) to 300°F (148.9°C). It is not the right choice where petroleum oils and fuels or mineral oil-based lubricants are present.
Common environments for this compound include water and steam systems, HVAC and refrigeration, and outdoor equipment.
E6X48 ships individually. Check the compound against your process media, pressure and temperature before committing to a design. For a size or compound outside the standard catalog, APG can quote from a print or sample.
