Static oil compatibility tests with O-Ring compounds for use in FLENDER gear units

This test specification serves as an supplement to the Freudenberg test specification FS PLM 111 0118 „Static oil
compatibility tests with Freudenberg O-Ring – compounds for the release to be used in FLENDER-gear units
(Tabellen T7300)”, Revision 01.

Test Documentation

1. General information
The test is to be performed according to the underlying test procedure (see above) and may only differ where it is
explicitly stated in this document.

2. Test parameters

Table 1 gives information about the test temperatures for different elastomer materials and lubricants.

2.3 Evaluation of test results

The limits fort he different evaluations are given in Table 2:
