Rubber material - In conclusion, the jet engine spark plug is a critical component of an aircraft engine, responsible for igniting the fuel-air mixture and ensuring optimal engine performance. Regular maintenance and inspection of spark plugs are necessary to prevent engine malfunctions and ensure the safe operation of an aircraft. By using high-quality spark plugs and following proper maintenance procedures, aircraft operators can maximize engine efficiency, reduce emissions, and enhance overall flight safety.
Polyacrylate is a great compromise between cost and quality. It has a high performing temperature and chemical range, but not to the extent of the range of Viton. The temperature ranges from 31°C to 148°C (-25°F to 300°F). Polyacrylate is primarily used in automotive transmissions and hoses but also found in shaft seals, gaskets and o-rings, due to offering a high resistance to hot oil and oxidation. While Polyacrylate is a great alternative to other high temperature resistant materials that are more expensive, it does have a poor water compatibility and cold flexibility. The best situation for Polyacrylate is an environment where heat and oil resistance but cost is the major issue. And while these 4 different materials cover a wide range of applications, there are even more materials out there designed for very specific niches in mind.
