Engineered for extremes
FKM Low-Temp 90P
Read the code: FKM, LT duty (low temperature, seals at −40 °C or below), 90 Shore A, P for peroxide cure, recipe 01.
Development grade. The values below are design targets, not measured results. Each target becomes a typical value, with the number of lots and the test report behind it, as testing is completed.
A 90 Shore A low-temperature FKM for equipment that sees both ends of the temperature range: hot sour production and cold starts, blowdown or arctic storage. Designed for RGD resistance and for sealing at −46 °C under pressure.

Qualification plan
The grade code says what this compound is designed for. This table says what it has passed: a duty is claimed only once its report is on file.
| Test | Standard or method | Conditions | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rapid gas decompression | ISO 23936-2 Annex B / NORSOK M-710 | 90/10 CH4/CO2, 15 MPa, 100 °C, 8 cycles, about 2 MPa/min decompression; 5.33 mm and 6.99 mm sections; target rating 0000 to 1111 (0 to 3 passes) | Planned |
| Sour ageing and life prediction | ISO 23936-2 Annex A / NORSOK M-710 | Sour multiphase fluid (hydrocarbon liquid, water, gas with H2S) at three temperatures; Arrhenius extrapolation to service temperature | Planned |
| Elastomer immersion | API 6A Annex F, material class FF/HH | 10 % H2S / 80 % CO2 / 10 % CH4 gas phase, at least 6.9 MPa, at least 160 h at 177 °C; NORSOK-style acceptance limits | Planned |
| Low-temperature sealing | Product-configured O-ring test (method published with the report) | Sealing at −46 °C at rated pressure; leak onset temperature reported with TR10 of the same lot | Planned |
| CO2 decompression | NACE TM0297 | Per standard (optional) | Planned |
Design targets are the values the compound is designed to reach. They are not measured results and they are not a warranty. Release limits apply to lots once the recipe is approved. The grade code says what the compound is designed for; the qualification plan says what it has passed. Confirm suitability in your own application and fluids.
