Are these Prs03000 compatibility ratings guaranteed?

No. Ratings are guideline values at ambient temperature (~20°C) and are not a warranty. Compatibility with Prs03000 varies with temperature, concentration, pressure and exposure time — always validate for your application.

Choosing a seal material for Prs03000

The table above rates every common O-ring elastomer for service in Prs03000 on an A–D scale. A is Excellent, B is Good, C is Fair (test before relying on it), and D is Not Recommended. An X indicates insufficient published data.

For Prs03000, the strongest candidates are Fluorocarbon (Viton), Perfluoroelastomer, Ethylene Propylene, Silicone, Fluorosilicone. These ratings are representative at ambient conditions (~20°C). Compatibility shifts with temperature, concentration, pressure and exposure time, so always validate the material against your real operating envelope before committing to a design.
