Elastomer Seals

One of the problems with the use of elastomers and other polymeric materials is the question of life prediction. Typically, these materials are affected by in-service thermal and chemical degradation. Laboratory test methodologies have been developed which can assist in the selection of polymeric materials. They include exposure to simulated service environments as a function of temperature. Such data can be the basis of design and initial materials selection as well as post failure analysis to select new materials with improved performance.
