Poppet Seals for Check Valves

Poppet seals, custom molded from various high performance elastomeric compounds, are manufactured by Pelmor® Laboratories, Inc. for use in check valves for pressure relief and nuclear plant piping system applications.

Excellent rubber-to-metal bonding, advanced machining capabilities for trimming molded parts, and pre-forming to 0.5 grams per piece to maximize manufacturing efficiencies, are among the highly specialized capabilities that Pelmor® brings to the production of these poppet seals.

Various state-of-the-art elastomers, such as Viton®, Aflas®, Nitrile, and EPDM, are bonded to stainless steel components to form a strong sealing surface. These poppets can withstand temperature extremes of -50° to +450° F; resist attack by over 750 corrosive chemicals and other liquids; and exhibit excellent abrasion resistance. Other properties include: tensile strength ranges of 2000 to 3250 psi; Shore A durometer of 50 to 90; and 100% to 685% elongation.
