Does the NORDIC RANGE socket gasket set include both NBR and Viton seals, and which temperature ranges apply to each material?

Yes. The NORDIC RANGE socket gasket set Format is offered in both NBR and Viton materials. Temperature ranges: - NBR: -30Â°C to +100Â°C - Viton: -20Â°C to +200Â°C Contents per kit: typically 2 Oârings + 1 flat gasket; for size 3/16 the seal kit contains 1 Oâring.

Can the NORDIC RANGE socket gasket set be used outdoors year-round given NBR and Viton temperature limits?

Yes - the NORDIC RANGE socket gasket set can be used outdoors yearâround provided you choose the appropriate material for your local temperature extremes. NBR gaskets are suitable where ambient temperatures stay between â30Â°C and +100Â°C. If winter lows or summer highs fall outside that range (below â30Â°C or above +100Â°C), use the Viton version, which covers â20Â°C to +200Â°C. Note Viton has a higher coldâlimit (â20Â°C) than NBR, so for very cold climates below â20Â°C use NBR; for highâtemperature exposure (above +100Â°C) use Viton. Ensure correct size (3/16 uses 1 oâring) and inspect seals regularly for weathering.

What are the chemical compatibility differences between NBR and Viton in the NORDIC RANGE socket gasket set?

NORDIC RANGE socket gasket set is offered in two elastomer materialsâNBR (nitrile) and Viton (FKM)âwhich differ in chemical compatibility and temperature performance: - Temperature range: NBR: â30Â°C to +100Â°C. Viton: â20Â°C to +200Â°C. For applications near or above 100Â°C, Viton provides a much larger safety margin; below â20Â°C Viton may harden compared with NBR (which remains usable down to â30Â°C). - Hydrocarbons and oils: NBR exhibits good resistance to mineral oils, hydraulic fluids and many greases, making it suitable for petroleum-based fluids. Viton has superior resistance to a broader range of oils, fuels, and high-temperature lubricants; it is preferred where aggressive fuels or hot oils are present. - Chemical resistance: Viton outperforms NBR against many aggressive chemicals, solvents, and aromatic or chlorinated hydrocarbons (e.g., benzene, toluene, trichloroethylene). NBR can swell or degrade with many solvents and brake fluids; avoid NBR where strong solvents, ketones or chlorinated hydrocarbons are present. - Acids/alkalis: Both have limited resistance to strong acids and alkalis; Viton is generally more tolerant of mild acids and oxidizing environments than NBR, but neither is ideal for concentrated strong acids or caustics. - Fuel and refrigerants: Viton is widely used with fuels, biofuels and many refrigerants; NBR has limited compatibility with some fuels and certain refrigerants, so Viton is safer for fuel/service environments. - Longevity and sealing reliability: Under higher temperatures, ozone or chemically aggressive service, Viton retains elasticity and sealing properties longer than NBR, reducing leak risk over time. Selection guidance: Use NORDIC RANGE socket gasket set in NBR for standard hydraulic/oil applications at moderate temperatures where cost-effectiveness is important. Choose NORDIC RANGE socket gasket set in Viton when higher temperature resistance, greater chemical resistance to fuels/solvents, or longer-term durability in aggressive environments is required. For size 3/16 (single Oâring), the same material differences apply.
