High hardness Flouroelastomers (copolymer of ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoro methyl vinyl with Advanced Polymer Architecture) compound was used to make thick and large size O-rings and field tested in pipeline valves containing very sour gas. The sour gas contains 23% H2S, 11% CO2, CH4, low molecular weight hydrocarbons, amine corrosion inhibitors, methanol and water at 32°C and 1200 psi. The results show that after the field test these O-rings were in good conditions and were completely resistance to sour gas and no cracks, bubble, blister, swelling, hardening and softening in the O-rings were observed and they were resistant against the H2S, methanol, amine corrosion inhibitors and steam. High pressure of the system did not produce any defects due to explosive decompression phenomenon or did not cause extrusion in these O-rings. A lower hardness compound also were used to prepare small size and thin O-rings, after O-rings test in very sour gas pipelines valves they were in good conditions. However when thick and large size O-rings were prepared with this compound and tested in the above mentioned field test there were cracks and blisters on the surface of O-rings. Therefore only higher hardness compound can be used to make thick and large size O-rings and its mechanical properties and chemical resistance are proper for this application.
