V3X40 is a black Viton® (FKM) 75 Shore A O-Ring measuring an inside diameter of 40 mm (1.575 in), a cross section of 3 mm (0.118 in), and an outside diameter of 46 mm (1.81 in). In service, this o-ring creates a positive seal at flange, piston and rod interfaces without added hardware.
As a material, Viton® (FKM) is specified for the industry benchmark where nitrile reaches its thermal limit and very low compression set at elevated temperature. The compound resists chlorinated solvents, engine and transmission fluids, and aggressive chemicals. Service temperature is rated from -15°F (-26.1°C) through 400°F (204.4°C). Applications involving low-molecular-weight organic acids or hot water and steam call for a different compound.
Common environments for this compound include high-temperature process equipment, semiconductor equipment, and automotive fuel systems.
This item is sold individually under part number V3X40. Unit weight is approximately 1.7505 g. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application. For a size or compound outside the standard catalog, APG can quote from a print or sample.
