NM507-90 Extrusion Resistant Nitrile O-Rings from Parker

NM507-90 Extrusion Resistant Nitrile O-Rings from ParkerParker’s NM507-90 is a ninety-durometer, low temperature nitrile elastomer formulated to have robust mechanical properties for resisting O-ring extrusion in tube fitting applications. NM507 is often used when the application requires seals in accordance with AS28778 or MS28778 for boss fittings.

NM507 meets the challenging AMS-P-5510 SAE specification which requires a tight balance of low temperature flexibility with Mil-PRF-5606 hydraulic oil compatibility. Low temperature flexibility can be measured by Temperature Retraction. NM507 has a TR-10 value of -46° in the original condition. After a week long oil immersion at 158°F, the measured TR-10 is -43°F.

Many low temperature nitrile materials will leach plasticizer, resulting in a hardened seal that has shrunk in size. However, NM507 has excellent compatibility with Mil-PRF-5606, maintaining the hardness and having a volume change of +3% after aging at 158°F.

An all around robust seal material, NM507 seals effectively in both hot air and oily conditions. In 158°F dry air, the material retains its physical properties. Maintaining resiliency up to 160°F, the material exceeds the week long compression set requirement at 22%. In oil such as Mil-PRF-6083, the material will not corrode or adhere to Aluminum Alloys or Stainless Steel.

Formulated prior to 1961 for the original Mil-P-5510 specification, NM507 has been performing in aerospace fitting applications for decades, and continues to be available today. Contact your Authorized Parker Distributor to request NM507 in AS568 sizes certified to AMS-P-83461, AS28778 or in custom O-ring sizes as needed. NM507 can also be extruded and precision cut for square cross section O-rings, or as cord stock in a variety of geometries.

NM507-90 Extrusion Resistant Nitrile O-Ring Q & A

+ What makes NM507-90 unique compared to standard NBR O-rings?
NM507-90 is a specialized nitrile (NBR) elastomer formulated for low-temperature resistance and high-pressure extrusion protection in demanding tube fitting applications — particularly aerospace boss fittings. Its distinct compound delivers greater durability vs. standard nitrile O-rings.
+ What are the key physical and performance properties of NM507-90?

Per Parker's compound datasheet:

  • Specific Gravity: ~1.29 (ASTM D297; spec 1.25–1.45)
  • Hardness: 86 Shore A (ASTM D2240; spec 85–95)
  • Tensile Strength: 1774 psi (ASTM D1414; spec ≥1450 psi)
  • Ultimate Elongation: Minimum 80%; actual approx. 107% (ASTM D1414)
  • Low-temperature Retraction (TR-10): −50 °F vs. max −45 °F (ASTM D1329)

These properties showcase strong mechanical resilience and cold-temperature performance Additionally, corrosion and adhesion testing passed across multiple aluminum and stainless-steel alloys It also withstands dry heat exposure (70 °C for 168 h) with minimal property changes and shows acceptable compression set and oil resistance in Mil-PRF-5606 hydraulic fluid.

+ Are NM507-90 O-rings available in standard sizes or only custom?
Yes — NM507 is available in standard AS568 (also specified as AS568A or aerospace sizes) and certified to AMS-P-83461 and AS28778 specifications. Custom sizes are also offered, including extruded and precision-cut seals or cord stock in various geometries.
+ What environments or applications do these O-rings suit best?
NM507-90 is engineered for aerospace boss fitting applications, where low-temperature performance, high-pressure operation, and extrusion resistance are critical . The compound’s data confirms reliable performance under heat aging, oil exposure, and mechanical stress — ideal for aerospace fluid systems. Its compatibility with multiple metal alloys further supports adaptability in demanding environments.
+ How do NM507-90 O-rings perform under high pressure and over time? Do they require backup rings?
The NM507-90 compound exhibits robust resilience — low compression set (~27% vs. max 35%) and minimal tensile strength and elongation loss after extended heat and oil exposure. However, for high-pressure conditions, industry best practice for 90 Shore A O-rings still recommends using anti-extrusion backup rings, such as Parker’s Parbak rings. These reduce extrusion risk by minimizing clearance and providing structural support.
