As energy becomes more scarce oil producers are finding it necessary to tap hydrocarbon reservoirs with very hostile environments. This has created a need for polymeric seals compatible with this environment. To develop these seals it is necessary to know how these environments affect the polymers. This paper presents the results of an experiment designed to determine the effects of H2S concentrations at different temperatures and pressures on fluorocarbon O-rings.
