Seals pass the NORSOK tests
Range of special sealing compounds from Parker Hannifin Seals for the oil, energy and gas industries include nitril (NBR), Hydrogenated Nitrile (HNBR), Carboxylated Nitrile (XNBR), Fluorocarbons (FKM/FFKM), Polyetherketones (PEEK) and Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) formulations.
Parker's proprietary compounds, developed from these polymer families and available from UK distributor Ceetak, have been approved after passing the strict NORSOK M-710 rapid gas compression (RGD) and sour gas tests.
NORSOK standards were devised by the Norwegian petroleum industry to provide adequate cost-effectiveness and safety for petroleum industry developments and operations. M-710 defines requirements for critical non-metal (polymer) sealing, seat and back-up materials for permanent subsea use.
Ceetak Sales and Marketing Director Jeff Panovic, said: "The NORSOK testing was conducted by MERL Ltd, an independent test laboratory in the UK."The qualification of these materials validates Parker Hannifin's position as a leading supplier of oilfield sealing materials.
"We are pleased to be able to offer these componds to our existing and potential energy, oil and gas customers."
