Description

The 701973 O-RING FKM from Blackmer is a high-quality sealing component designed for use in positive displacement pump systems. Manufactured with fluoroelastomer (FKM), known for its excellent chemical resistance, thermal stability, and durability, this O-ring provides reliable sealing performance under demanding conditions. It is suitable for a variety of industrial applications requiring precise and leak-proof seals.

The 701973 O-RING measures approximately 2.75 inches (70 mm) in inner diameter and 0.13 inches (3.3 mm) in cross-section, making it compatible with various Blackmer pump models and other similar positive displacement pumps. Its precise dimensions ensure an effective seal when fitted into designated grooves within pump assemblies or other hydraulic components.

  • Constructed with FKM (fluoroelastomer) for excellent chemical resistance against oils, fuels, solvents, and aggressive fluids
  • Operating temperature range of -20°C to +200°C (-4°F to +392°F), maintaining elasticity and sealing integrity across extremes
  • Designed with a standard oval cross-section for effective compression and sealing performance
  • Includes a high-performance vulcanization process to improve elasticity and resistance to compression set
  • Compatible with high-pressure systems up to 150 psi (10 bar), depending on application specifics
  • Suitable for use in chemical processing, oil and gas, and manufacturing industries requiring reliable sealing solutions
  • Resistant to aging, ozone, and weathering, extending service life in harsh environments

Use Cases and Applications

The 701973 O-RING FKM is ideal for sealing in positive displacement pumps, particularly in systems handling aggressive chemicals, hot fluids, or volatile substances. It is well-suited for industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas extraction, and industrial manufacturing where reliable, high-performance seals are critical. This O-ring is recommended for maintenance, repairs, and new equipment installations, especially where budget-conscious, durable components are needed without compromising quality.

Included in the Package

The shipment includes one 701973 O-RING FKM. No additional components are included; installation requires proper tools and attention to fitting specifications.

Care and Maintenance

The 701973 O-RING FKM should be installed using appropriate tools to avoid damage. Regular inspection for signs of wear, cracking, or deformation is recommended, especially in high-pressure or chemically aggressive environments. The O-ring provides long service life when maintained within its temperature and chemical resistance limits. No specific warranty details are provided, but proper handling preserves its sealing performance over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the 701973 O-RING FKM ideal for use in chemical processing and high-temperature environments?
The 701973 O-RING FKM is made from fluoroelastomer (FKM), which provides excellent chemical resistance and thermal stability, enabling it to perform reliably in demanding chemical processing and hot fluid applications up to 200°C (392°F). Its resistance to aging, ozone, and aggressive chemicals makes it suitable for high-temperature and chemically aggressive environments.
How do I select the right size and fitting for replacing my existing FKM O-ring with the 701973 O-RING?
To ensure proper fitting, measure the inner diameter and cross-section of your existing O-ring and compare it with the 701973 O-RING dimensions of approximately 2.75 inches (70 mm) inner diameter and 0.13 inches (3.3 mm) cross-section. Compatibility with your pump model or system is crucial, so refer to pump specifications and fitting groove dimensions when selecting an FKM O-ring replacement.
What are the best practices for installing and maintaining the 701973 O-RING FKM to ensure its longevity?
Install the 701973 O-RING FKM using appropriate tools to prevent damage and ensure proper compression during fitting. Regularly inspect the O-ring for signs of wear or deformation, especially in high-pressure or chemical environments. Proper maintenance within temperature and chemical resistance limits will extend its service life and preserve sealing integrity.
