CURRENT
AMSR25988B
This material has resistance to diester-based engine oil (MIL-PRF-7808) and fuel, but usage is not limited to such applications. This material is not suitable for use in synthetic phosphate ester based hydraulic fluids (AS1241) or helicopter transmission lubricating oils (DOD-PRF-85734, MIL-PRF-32538). For gas turbine engine lubricating oils (AS5780, MIL-PRF-23699), resistance varies by class and should be evaluated individually (see Note regarding high performance oils). This material has a typical service temperature range of -70 to +392 °F (-56.7 to +200 °C) for Class 1 and Class 2 and -70 to +437 °F (-56.7 to +225 °C) for Class 3. The service temperature range of the material is a general temperature range, but the presence of particular fluids and specific design requirements may modify this range. Each application should be considered separately.

Designing with Elastomers for use at Low Temperatures, Near or Below Glass Transition

2020-11-12
WIP
AIR1387E

To ensure success in design of elastomeric parts for use at low temperature, the design engineer must understand the peculiar properties of rubber materials at these temperatures.

There are no static applications of rubber. The Gaussian theory of rubber elasticity demonstrates that the elastic characteristic of rubber is due to approximately 15% internal energy and the balance, 85%, is entropy change. In other words, when an elastomer is deformed, the elastomer chain network is forced to rearrange its configuration thereby storing energy through entropy change. Thermodynamically, this means that rubber elasticity is time and temperature dependent (Reference 25).

The purpose of this report is to provide guidance on low temperature properties of rubber with the terminology, test methods, and mathematical models applicable to rubber, and to present some practical experience.

WIP
AMS7259F
This specification covers a fluorocarbon (FKM) rubber in the form of O-rings, O-ring cord, compression seals, and molded-in-place gaskets for aeronautical and aerospace applications. These products have been used typically as sealing rings, compression seals, O-ring cord, and molded-in-place gaskets in contact with air and a wide variety of fuels, lubricants, and specific hydraulic fluids but usage is not limited to such applications. Each application should be considered individually. This class of fluoroelastomers is not recommended for use in high temperature stabilized, “HTS”, engine oils. Each “HTS” oil should be evaluated separately. This fluorocarbon rubber has a typical service temperature range of -20 to +400 °F (-29 to +204 °C) in air.
