Parker NB194-90 Technical Bulletin

Available for immediate download.

High temperature concerns? Gulf Coast Seal is pleased to bring you a Parker's latest technical bulletin on a new NBR (acrylonitrile-butadiene) seal compound.

NB194-90 is a peroxide-cured nitrile specifically formulated for low compression set (see the values at 350F) and superior extrusion resistance. With 90 durometer nitrile being the work-horse of the Energy, Oil & Gas industry, this compound offers superior performance for those difficult high-pressure / high-temperature applications.

Parker Releases Materials Certified to NORSOK M-710

For decades, Parker has been providing leading edge elastomer technology to the energy, oil and gas industry. As a value added service, Parker is now offering EOG elastomers tested and certified to the NORSOK M-710 standard.

NORSOK standards are developed by the Norwegian Petroleum Industry to outline and secure adequate safety and cost efficient needs for petroleum industry developments and operations. NORSOK M-710 calls out the requirements for critical rubber sealing materials in applications such as subsea use, control systems and valves.

Parker enlisted MERL (Materials Engineering Research Laboratory) Ltd., an independent research laboratory located in the United Kingdom, to conduct the stringent NORSOK tests on Parker’s various EOG materials. Parker’s materials were found to pass, if not exceed expectations and requirements set by the NORSOK M-710 standard.
