APM Hexseal provides NASM8496 pressure testing 11 November 2019

Making sure that the parts used meet all of the appropriate standards can be complicated. Military contractors must be able to manufacture products within very stringent standards to ensure they will operate effectively in harsh or hostile environments.

Now there is one less part to worry about - APM Hexseal now offers operating pressure tests as required by NASM82496 paragraphs 4.5.1., 4.5.2., and 4.6.3.

To meet the NASM 82496 standards, parts must be pressure and time tested to be certain that they meet the very highest standards - military industry requirements.

“To ensure our parts function according to these standards, our knowledgeable engineering and test staff perform all of the necessary tests on-site. Each NASM82496 part comes with a guarantee of the product’s exceptional quality, as shown by a certification of the completed test,” explains APM.

These parts meet military standards, in order to be used by all branches of the military, as well as the contractors who produce specialised and sophisticated technology used in defense. To give users the opportunity to see the exceptional quality of APM’s work, the company will pay for the first test of Seelskrews® - it stands behind its innovative and highly functional Seelskrews and Seelbolts® products.

These unique self-sealing screws and bolts form a reliable seal that is reusable and can be counted on to prevent any contamination, protecting equipment even in extreme environments. To meet a wide range of needs, APM carries Seelskrews in a broad selection of standard thread sizes, with many O-ring elastomer options.

“We have a long history of developing and manufacturing sealing products that protect sensitive mechanical and electronic components from contaminants, in the most hostile environments. Our extensive catalogue of sealing hardware and elastomeric covers include a complete line of self-sealing, reusable fasteners and sealing washers. With exceptional technical support, a stellar engineering team, and top tier machine shop, we are confident that we can find the solutions you need,” comments APM Hexseal.
