Industry
Oil & Gas
Downhole tools, wellheads, valves, BOPs and surface production equipment demand seals engineered for explosive decompression (RGD) resistance, sour-service (NACE MR0175/ISO 15156) compatibility and reliable performance under high pressure and temperature.
Typical applications
Where FITCO seals are used
- Wellhead and valve sealing
- Downhole tool O-rings
- BOP and manifold seals
- Sour-gas (H2S) service compounds
- Explosive-decompression resistant grades
