Oil and Gas

Sealing products in the oil & gas market

Oil and Gas applications present the most extreme conditions in which rubber seals are expected to operate. Mechanical, thermo-chemical and fluid phase conditions must be accommodated to maintain the integrity of the rubber seal in these, often safety critical, uses.

Standard and custom made rubber compounds

Boasting cutting edge technology centre’s in the UK, USA and the Netherlands, ERIKS operates at the forefront of material science, developing new and tightly controlled, qualified rubber compounds. Experienced application engineers draw upon in-depth technical knowledge to ensure that the optimal seal is impartially specified for your application; whether this is a standard rubber product or as a bespoke solution tailored to your needs.

3D-prototyping

ERIKS design teams work closely with our material scientists to produce accurate materials data upon which our non-linear finite element analyses are based, to minimise design iterations in successfully satisfying your application.

We use the latest 3D CAD to capture design intent, which is verified using our contact and non-contact CMM equipment. Full traceability of product and batch data per NORSOK M710 requirements is available.

Oil & gas elastomer temperature range

Applications in the Oil & Gas Industry can often be served by more than one type of rubber elastomer. The following chart presents typical application ranges for several traditional elastomers based on the service temperature and environment.
