GMW16163 3rd Edition, August 1, 2016 FKM/FPM for Crankcase Ventilation Applications
More info
Description / Abstract:
This specification covers fluoroelastomers used in static sealing of Crankcase Ventilation Systems for gas (flex fuel) and diesel engines using B5 to B20.
Material Description. Materials are divided into the following types:
Type A: Fluoroelastomer (FKM/FPM) gasket or O-ring for use as sealings for +150 °C permanent and +175 °C peak temperatures.
Type B: All Type 1 or Type 2 FKM/FPM gasket or O-ring compounds with a functional temperature range of -15 °C to 175 °C are defined by ASTM D1329 TR10 and SAE J2236 respectively.
Type C. All Type 3 FKM/FPM compound(s) with a functional temperature range of -25 °C to 175 °C are defined by ASTM D1329 TR10 and SAE J2236 respectively.
Type D. All FKM/FPM compound(s) with a functional temperature range of -30 °C to 175 °C are defined by ASTM D1329 TR10 and SAE J2236 respectively. Type only (no subscript grade) specification descriptions indicate the approved compound met all the requirements per Table 2.
Grade Description. Compound approvals that require special designations by engine fluid resistance are designated with a subscript letter. These compounds met the requirements differing only by the select fuel in which they were tested. This permits a gas or diesel only approval.
Ag, Bg, Cg, Dg. These symbols identify material types with resistance to gas only. See Table 2.
Ad, Bd, Cd, Dd. These symbols identify material types with resistance to diesel only. See Table 2.
Symbols. Identify the elastomer nomenclature using ASTM D1418 or ISO 1629.
Applicability. The ventilation system transfers combustion (blow-by) gases, water and fuel vapor out of the engine crankcase. This standard covers the use of fluorocarbon elastomer whose function is to seal the vent system (plenum, air/oil separator, flow control devices - valves or orifices, quick-connect o-rings, fittings or caps). Hose and tubing is covered by other standards.
Remarks. The words must, shall or will as used in this document mean a mandatory requirement.
Fluorocarbons, when immersed in static (non-aerated) test fluids, often have higher property loss changes than in aerated fluids. These test conditions may not give direct correlation with service performance, but serve as comparative data for decision making.
Some prints/drawings identify "D" or racetrack shapes as O-rings. To avoid confusion, testing and table data only apply to the ASTM D1414 definition of an O-ring.
Recent studies by the Chemours Company recommend no metal oxide peroxide cure FKM/FPM compounds for maximum protection against biodiesel containing water. The metal oxides have no significant impact on FKM Type II, Type III, Type IV or Type V peroxide cure systems. There is no impact on color choice for carbon black filled and mineral filled systems. There are variations in what are called metal oxides. For example, ceramic type mineral systems are metal oxides and are being used successfully in mobility systems where zinc, calcium, or magnesium oxides would not be successful in that application.
Elastomers used in crankcase vent system purchased assemblies are selected by supplier specific criteria and often remain unspecified or unidentified on end user prints and drawings. As the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) end user, we reserve the right to define common rather than source specific requirements. Use this document in the appropriate Statement of Requirements and corporate prints and drawings as designated in Section 8, Coding.
Compound approvals are restricted to those material Types referenced in this standard (see 1.1).
Cost. Type 1 FKM/FPM (Type A and Type B) is approximately 500 USD to 600 USD per kilogram at the time of this latest revision. Type 3 FKM/FPM (Type C and Type D) is approximately 1000 USD to 2000 USD per kilogram. Given the specific gravity and part weight, one can approximately calculate the material cost of the total piece price
