Overview
EN 3049:2025 - Aerospace series - O-rings in fluorocarbon rubber (FKM), low compression set - Hardness 80 IRHD specifies the characteristics, sizing and handling requirements for FKM O‑rings intended for aerospace fluid systems. The standard covers O‑rings used in air, mineral/synthetic oil and fuel systems, defining allowable sizes, tolerances, material reference, storage and marking/packaging rules for reliable sealing performance in aerospace environments.
Key topics and requirements
- Material and properties
- O‑rings must be made of fluorocarbon rubber (FKM) with low compression set and hardness 80 IRHD.
- Material conformity is referenced to EN 2798 (FKM material requirements).
- Operating limits
- Continuous operation: −20 °C to +225 °C.
- Static applications (minimum temperature): −50 °C.
- Limitation: Not suitable for use with phosphoric‑ester hydraulic fluids (no permanent or temporary immersion).
- Configuration, dimensions and tolerances
- Standard sizes, section diameters and inside diameters are specified in Tables 1–5 (codes A–E) with masses per 1 000 pieces; dimensions and tolerances are given in millimetres.
- Dimensions are selected from ISO 3601‑1 size tables.
- Designation and identification
- Example designation format: O‑RING EN 3049 C 0875, where the section code and diameter code reference the tables.
- No identification marking on parts; identification and markings are applied on packaging in accordance with EN 3050.
- Storage and shelf life
- Storage requirements follow ISO 27996 to preserve elastomer properties during shelf life.
- Packaging and technical specifications
- Packaging method is at manufacturer’s discretion but must ensure compliance with marking and identification requirements; technical specification references EN 3050.
Applications and who uses it
- Primary users:
- Aerospace OEMs and suppliers specifying sealing components for fuel, oil and pneumatic systems.
- Design and sealing engineers selecting O‑rings for high‑temperature or long‑term static seals.
- Procurement, quality and maintenance teams ensuring parts meet aerospace sealing standards.
- Typical applications:
- Aircraft fuel and lubrication systems, pneumatic actuators, hydraulic components (excluding phosphoric‑ester fluids), and other aerospace fluid systems requiring high temperature resistance and low compression set.
