Description / Abstract:
Form
This specification covers a butyl rubber in the form of molded
rings, compression seals, o-ring cord, and molded-in-place gaskets
for aeronautical and aerospace applications. As AMS3238 is no
longer valid for O-rings. For O-rings, the requirements of AMS7338
shall be met wherever AMS3238 is specified.
Application
These products have resistance to phosphate ester fluids and/or
low permeability to gases, but usage is not limited to such
applications. Not suitable for use in contact with petroleum-base
fluids due to excessive swell. Each application should be
considered separately. This Material Type has a typical service
temperature range of -75 to +250 °F (-59 to +121 °C) in air.
Safety Hazardous Materials
While the materials, methods, applications, and processes
described or referenced in this specification may involve the use
of hazardous materials, this specification does not address the
hazards which may be involved in such use. It is the sole
responsibility of the user to ensure familiarity with the safe and
proper use of any hazardous materials and to take necessary
precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all
personnel involved.
