Statotherm R profile rings R901/B..
Features
Statotherm R profile rings R901/B are made from permanently elastic, expanded graphite (purity ≥ 99.85%, ash content ≤0.15 %, chloride content ≤20 ppm) without binders or fillers. Statotherm R profile rings R901/B are almost maintenance-free and are intended for exposure to extreme temperature cycling and/ or high or low temperature ranges which cannot be withstood by elastomeric O-rings.
Advantages
- High purity nuclear grade graphite
- Outstanding deformability
- Permanent resiliency
- Permanent elasticity
- Good cross-sectional tightness
Operating range
Pressure: p = 500 bar
Sliding velocity
- Pump application
vg = 2 m/s
Temperature
- Continuous operation:
t = -200 °C ... +500 °C - Steam: tmax+550°
Recommended surface roughness: RZ = 10 - 40 μm
Chemical resistance: pH = 0 … 14
Resistant to almost all organic and inorganic acids, alkalis, oils and solvents.

Variants
R901/B5: density 1.3 g/cm3
R901/B6: density 1.4 g/cm3
R901/B7: density 1.6 g/cm3

R904/...: reduced sulphur content < 200 ppm
Notes
Statotherm profile rings must only be permitted to deform in the axial direction. The sealing groove must be designed to prevent tensile stresses caused by widening of the profile rings (which are damaged by radial deformation).
