Using only Oil and Gas as a reference, the chart shows that there are several instances where extreme temperature and pressure are present. Elastomers are widely utilized as the basis for seals in gas and fluid pipelines. The behavior of these elastomers at high pressures and temperatures is sparsely understood. Consequently, the duty cycle of these materials is often deliberately limited to thin life cycles. These extreme environments can cause catastrophic failures if seals are not changed as required by the manufacturer. The result is significant time lost due to halting production to replace sealing components. To address the fundamental nature of the elastomers at their intended operating conditions, Alpine Polytech runs strict testing to help determine the limits of materials.
