Ordered as V75MD178, this is an AS568-178 blue Viton® (FKM) 75 Shore A O-Ring built to an inside diameter of 9.737 in (247.32 mm), a cross section of 0.103 in (2.62 mm), and an outside diameter of 9.943 in (252.55 mm). The o-ring delivers dependable bidirectional sealing in a compact groove envelope.
It resists petroleum oils and fuels, chlorinated solvents, and engine and transmission fluids. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Viton® (FKM) is widely chosen for very low compression set at elevated temperature, excellent resistance to compression set and permeation. Service temperature is rated from -15°F (-26.1°C) through 400°F (204.4°C). It should not be specified for service in ketones and esters or low-molecular-weight organic acids.
This item meets FDA requirements for food contact, carries NSF listing, and is metal detectable for HACCP and foreign-body control programs. You will find this material specified across high-temperature process equipment, aerospace, and chemical processing.
Stocked as V75MD178 and sold individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 9 3/4 inch. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application. APG can cross-reference from an existing part number, a drawing or a physical sample if this size is not an exact match.
