MATERIAL DATA SHEET FOR VITON ANTI EXPLOSIVE DECOMPRESSION (AED) O RING

Anti-Explosive Decompression (AED) seals and O-rings are typically used in high
pressure applications encountered in the oil & gas industry.
Explosive Decompression (also referred to as Rapid Gas Decompression or RGD) is a
failure mechanism of elastomer seals and O-rings that is caused by a rapid reduction in
pressure of a gaseous media. Gas that has permeated into the elastomer seal expands
violently when the pressure is released rapidly causing fissuring and seal failure.

The high pressure test rigs are capable of pressurizing various seal geometries up to 13.8
MPa or 20,000 psi over any time period, any number of depressurization cycles and any
temperature up to 300°C (572°F). The programmable rigs can be used to test materials
against various industry standards or simulate actual field operations found in oilfield
tools and compressor applications.
