FREE DINNER will be provided by SAMPE High Desert. Where:@ Antelope Valley College,Discovery Lab, Fire Tech Lab DL-1103041 West Avenue K, Lancaster, CaliforniaAbstract:Elastomeric seals play a critical role in aerospace systems by preventing leakage of fuels, hydraulic fluids, air, and other media under extreme temperatures, pressures, and environmental conditions. Common aerospace elastomers such as FKM, FVMQ, HNBR, EPDM, silicone, and FFKM are selected based on fluid compatibility, temperature range, and performance requirements. To ensure safety and reliability, these materials must meet stringent aerospace specifications (AMS, MIL, ASTM) and undergo rigorous testing, including tensile strength, hardness, compression set, heat aging, low-temperature performance, and fluid resistance evaluations.Effective seal performance also depends on proper design and manufacturing. Key design considerations include application type (static or dynamic), pressure, gland configuration, squeeze levels, extrusion gaps, and surface finish. Aerospace seals are produced using compression, transfer, injection, or liquid injection molding methods, selected based on material type, part complexity, tolerance requirements, and production volume. Together, proper material selection, testing, design, and manufacturing ensure long-term sealing integrity in demanding aerospace environments.Speaker Bio:Vinay Nilkanth is Vice President of Technology and Program Management at Rubbercraft, that specializes in elastomeric products used in the Aerospace industry for mission critical defense, commercial &amp; space applications. At Rubbercraft, Mr. Nilkanth is responsible for product innovation, technology roadmap, and supporting new business development. Mr. Nilkanth brings more than 30 years of experience in the aerospace industry, including general and executive leadership, global sales and engineering management, mergers and acquisitions, marketing and branding, ERP system selection, and business process reengineering initiatives. Mr. Nilkanth holds a Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK and an MBA from Temple University, Philadelphia, PA. Prior to joining Rubbercraft, he held various position at companies focused on elastomeric products and seals, as well as engineered plastic components, gaining extensive experience in non-metallic materials. Mr. Nilkanth has three (3) sealing related patents &amp; technical papers under his name.
