FAQ

The brown color often indicates FKM (Viton), which has excellent resistance to high temperatures and chemicals. However, it could also be a standard NBR (Nitrile) compound. Without explicit marking, assume it is NBR for general-purpose applications unless your system requires the specific properties of FKM.

While not explicitly marked, a seal of this design is commonly an 'AS' type. This denotes a single-lip seal with a garter spring for enhanced sealing on the shaft, enclosed in a rubber-coated metal case. It is a very common and versatile design.

Standard oil seals like this are generally designed for low-pressure applications, typically up to 0.5 bar (7 PSI). For higher pressures, a specialized high-pressure seal or a different sealing solution would be required.
