The implementation of carbon capture and storage requires suitable solutions at all levels of the CO₂ value chain, including the CO₂ transport. A large number of studies in this area are dedicated to the characterization of metallic materials for pipelines, whereas limited data are available on the ...

The effect of hot air exposure at 150 �C for up to 12 weeks (ca. 2000 h) on the properties of hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) compounds with varying degrees of carbon black content was investigated and re-ported in this paper. The composition of the HNBR was varied with 0, 10, 30 or 50 ...

Elastomers such as hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) are known to have inferior dimensional stability upon temperature changes compared to metallic materials. This can result in thermal contraction mismatches between metal and elastomer sealing components during cooling, possibly leading ...

HNBR was analyzed following low temperature storage (between 0 °C and −50 °C) in order to measure the effects of cold crystallization during exposure close to, and below, the glass transition temperature (Tg). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DM...

Elastic recovery after compression or compression set is one of the key indicators of elastomer performance in sealing applications, such as O-rings in flange joints. In this work, findings of a study of the compression set property of a hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) at temperatures a...

Rubber compounds for pressure sealing application typically have inferior dimensional stability with temperature fluctuations compared with their steel counterparts. This effect may result in seal leakage failures when subjected to decreases in temperature. Composites of hydrogenated nitrile butadie...
