Features
Statotherm R profile rings R901/B are made from permanently elastic, expanded graphite (purity ≥ 99.85%, ash content ≤0.15 %, chloride content ≤20 ppm) without binders or fillers. Statotherm R profile rings R901/B are almost maintenance-free and are intended for exposure to extreme temperature cycling and/ or high or low temperature ranges which cannot be withstood by elastomeric O-rings.

Notes
Statotherm profile rings must only be permitted to deform in the axial direction. The sealing groove must be designed to prevent tensile stresses causedby widening of the profile rings (which are damaged by radial deformation).
