SCOPE
1.1 This document is a tutorial for the evaluation of elastomer test
samples or actual elastomeric seal members intended for use in the oil
and gas industry. In earlier times, most of the oil and gas production
was from sweet, low pressure wells and oilfield equipment
manufacturers could supply low durometer nitrile rubber for seal
members and the customers could depend on the seal with reliability.
With time, these oil reserves have been depleted and the search for
oil and gas has led to the development of deep, high pressure
reservoirs and/or sour (H2S), corrosive oil resources.
In a prospective application, the customer and the oil-field equipment
manufacturer may not really be sure of the performance of the seal
materials and members in the equipment. Many tests exist which
evaluate the performance of a seal material or member. It is the
intent of this document to review testing criteria, environments,
evaluation procedures, guidelines for comparisons, and effects of
other considerations on the evaluation of elastomeric seal materials
and members.
