FKM or FPM, which is in well-known brand Viton™, can withstand higher liquid temperatures of up to 180 ˚C. FKM is highly resistant to strong acids and bases, as well as to synthetic oils and greases. Glycol-based oil and grease, however, can also damage FKM.


Oil seals normally consist of three basic components: the sealing element, the metal case, and garter spring.
3. TEMPERATURE: Similar to the pressure level, you need to know what temperature your machinery can operate at. You need to choose a seal that can withstand the heat or cold. PTFE have the widest rang of temperature, making them a safe option when you are uncertain of the range.
As an example, this oil seal has a part number that corresponds to a Shaft Size of 3”, a Bore Size of 4”, a Width Size of 0.625”, a Style of TB2, and is made of Viton material. Conversely, the same size oil seal in Metric has a Shaft Size of 76.20 mm, a Bore Size of 101.60 mm, and a Width Size of 15.88 mm.
