Overview: The document is a catalog detailing APM's self-sealing and self-locking fasteners, including screws, bolts, nuts, rivets, and washers. These products are designed for environments requiring both fastening and sealing integrity, suitable for hostile and high-pressure applications.

Specifications: The fasteners feature a patented silicone O-ring in an asymmetrical groove under the head, providing a seal against liquids and gases. They are available in various thread sizes, lengths, head styles, and materials, including stainless steel.

Features and Benefits: Key benefits include positive sealing under pressure or vacuum, ease of installation, vibration resistance, reusability, and compatibility with all surface finishes. The fasteners are UL and CSA recognized, ensuring compliance with industry standards.

Applications: Suitable for instrument housings, pressure gauges, gearboxes, valves, motor housings, and fuel tanks, where leakage could compromise reliability.

Thread Locking Enhancements: APM offers additional thread locking solutions such as pellets, strips, and patches to enhance vibration resistance.

Ordering Information: Detailed instructions are provided for ordering specific fasteners, specifying head style, thread size, and length. Custom orders and additional sealing materials are available upon request.

Material and Performance: Made from non-magnetic stainless steel or brass, with silicone rubber O-rings, these fasteners resist salt water, weather, dirt, dust, sunlight, ozone, and most acids, with a temperature range of -160°F to +500°F and pressure resistance up to 20,000 psi.

Conclusion: APM's fasteners offer a reliable solution for applications requiring both fastening and sealing, with a wide range of options to meet specific needs.

SEELNUTS®: Self-sealing nuts that form a high-pressure seal along the thread section and contact surface, eliminating the need for gaskets and sealing compounds. They are fully adjustable, reusable, and available in standard thread sizes.

SEELRIVETS®: High-pressure, self-sealing rivets made from aluminum alloy with a silicone rubber O-ring, resistant to various environmental factors, and can withstand temperatures from -160°F to +500°F and pressures up to 6000 psi.

SEELOC® Washers: Vibration-resistant, self-sealing washers made from stainless steel with a silicone rubber section, designed to seal panels and cases with large clearance holes.

APM Locking Systems: Various locking systems, including pellets, strips, and patches, provide locking and sealing capabilities, designed to resist vibration and stress, and are reusable.

Specifications and Features: Each product section includes detailed specifications, including material composition, temperature and pressure ranges, resistance to environmental factors, and installation instructions.
