Overview
EN 2795:2018 - Aerospace series - Fluorocarbon rubber (FKM), low compression set, hardness 50 IRHD - defines the material properties and test requirements for a specific FKM rubber grade intended for aerospace use. The standard specifies mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance characteristics obtained from standard test specimens and identifies which tests are required for qualification and batch acceptance. Typical applications require resistance to air, hydrocarbon and synthetic oils and fuels at elevated temperatures while maintaining a low compression set.
Key topics and requirements
- Material identity: Fluorocarbon rubber (FKM) with nominal hardness 50 IRHD (symbol per ISO 1629).
- Performance properties: Includes hardness, density, tensile strength (minimum 8 MPa), elongation at break (minimum 200 %) and compression set.
- Compression set: Specified low compression set; for example, a maximum of 25 % after 70 h at 200 °C is required (qualification and batch acceptance rules apply).
- Temperature range: Continuous service −20 °C to 225 °C; intermittent service up to 250 °C.
- Environmental and chemical exposures: Tests for resistance after exposure to air and to specified liquids (per ISO 1817), with permissible variations in volume, mass, tensile strength, elongation and hardness.
- Additional tests: Ozone resistance, corrosion and adhesion to metals (e.g., 168 h at 200 °C in dry atmosphere), and other aging/compatibility checks as listed in the standard.
- Testing and acceptance: All qualification tests must be performed; a subset marked in the standard is required for routine batch acceptance. Density for each batch must not deviate more than 0,03 Mg/m3 from the qualified value.
- Designation and technical specification: Material designation follows the format shown in EN 2795; technical specification references are provided in EN 3207.
Applications and who uses it
- Primary uses: Seals, O-rings, gaskets and other elastomeric components in aircraft fuel, hydraulic and engine systems where resistance to hydrocarbons, oils and elevated temperatures is critical.
- Typical users: Aerospace OEMs, suppliers of elastomeric seals, materials and compound formulators, quality and qualification engineers, maintenance/repair organizations (MROs), and procurement teams specifying component materials for aviation systems.
