Addis, EU Controlled document at www.MATS Copyright 2017, Ford Global Technologies, LLC Page 1 of 5 FLUOROELASTOMER (FKM), 70 75 IRHD HARDNESS WSS-M2D440-B3 1. SCOPE The material defined by this specification is a
2、 fluoroelastomer (FKM) material with good resistance to fuels and oil. 2. APPLICATION This specification was released originally for material used in an intake manifold gasket. The material has good resistance to automotive fuels including those that have become oxidized (“Sour”) and to engine oil.
3、The material is not recommended for use in contact with flexfuels and/or oxygenated fuels when good dimensional stability is required. The material will withstand temperatures up to 150 C for extended periods. 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.1 APPROVED SOURCES This specification requires the use of approved sourc
4、es. Only the sources identified on the Ford Approved Source List (ASL) can be used when this specification is listed on the drawing, CAD file, or other documents. The list of approved sources is located within Ford at or available externally through a Ford Materials Engineer. 3.2 MATERIAL TESTING 3
