Description:
|
In the oil and gas production, typical subsea chemical injection systems require the use of elastomeric seals or O’rings as primary or secondary forms of containment to aid in production fluids flow assurance. Some of these involve high temperatures which can be challenging for seals to perform adequately as their physical-chemical-mechanical properties are impacted by the fluids they are in contact with. Therefore, it is critical to evaluate the compatibility between chemicals and seals at elevated temperature conditions. |
