is fabricated in compliance with the following Russian regulatory specifications:

 

FPM braid is a fluoroplastic chemical-resistant self-lubricating packing and gasket material intended for use within the temperature range from -60  to +150 ^оС (grade FPM-V) or to  +200 ^оС (grade FPM-О) under media pressures of up to 6,3 MPa.

 

 

FPM braid of grade "V"  contains "V" lubricant (liquid paraffin) and is intended for use as a sealant for general industrial aggressive media.

 

FPM braid of grade "O" is intended for use in pure media and strong oxidants (it does not contain any liquid paraffin).

 

The main difference between fluoroplastic braids of  grade "V"  and "O" grades in terms or their physical and mechanical properties is that  "V"  braids are "softer" and has better elasticity but can not be subjected to further thermal treatment.
