Investigations on the low temperature performance of rubber seals
- For many sealing applications rubbers are applied due to their special material properties and easy use. In many applications as e.g. in aviation, traffic or process technology the material can be exposed to low temperatures during operation. Therefore, it is important to know the material behaviour at those low temperatures to determine the temperature range that allows a safe operation of the seal. In this work, we focus on the behaviour of elastomer seals at low temperatures with regard to potential decrease of leak-tightness or catastrophic seal failure of O-ring rubber seals. This is required as material properties of rubbers are strongly temperature dependent but their temperature application range is not always clearly defined. Based on previous investigations which considered the physical material properties and the seal behaviour under purely static conditions we widen the focus on the sealing performance after a fast partial relief of compressed seals and additionalFor many sealing applications rubbers are applied due to their special material properties and easy use.

This is required as material properties of rubbers are strongly temperature dependent but their temperature application range is not always clearly defined. Based on previous investigations which considered the physical material properties and the seal behaviour under purely static conditions we widen the focus on the sealing performance after a fast partial relief of compressed seals and additional materials. For the investigations, different typical rubber seal materials were used as e.g. fluorocarbon (FKM), ethylene propylene diene (EPDM) and hydrogenated acrylonitrile-butadiene (HNBR) rubber. The correlation of the physical material properties with seal performance is studied. This includes as well purely static sealing applications as the Performance during/after fast partial relief of seals at low temperatures.…
