Gas Spring Technical Info > Seals / Temperature Ranges

The following chart gives the operating and survival temperature ranges for gas springs manufactured with standard, low temperature and high temperature seals.  RV refers to “release valve” which is a standard option on most units.  The seal properties of the RV reduce the temperature ratings.  If an alternative ball valve (BV) is used, there is no temperature reduction.
