SAE F-1
A high grade, high density felt recommended for precision
uses where maximum durability and resistance to wear are required.
Typical uses are: Bearing seals, ink rolls, Polishing pads,
Bumpers, Low Viscosity oil retention and feeding as in lubrication
wicking, Wiping applications in sheet metal, tube and wire
manufacturing.
SAE F-2 & SAE F-3
High grade felts of slightly less density and durability than
SAE F-1, but still recommended for precision uses such as:
Vibration mounts, Precision lubrication wicking, Oil seals,
Bumpers, Gaskets, Automobile, Aircraft, and Machinery Components.
SAE F-5
A high grade, medium density felt recommended for precision
uses where resiliency and durability are important factors.
Typical uses are: Lubrication wicks, Grease seals, Wipers,
Shock dampers, and Dust seals.
SAE F-6 & SAE F-7
Medium density felts similar to SAE F-5 and recommended for
similar applications, but where slightly less durable material
is permissible. These felts are commonly used for: Grease
retainers, Spacer strip seals, Weather stripping, Dust shields,
and noise reduction linings.
SAE F-10
A high grade, medium low density felt, similar in quality
to the SEA F-5, but recommended for uses where abrasion and
wear are not important factors. This is used for: Fluid storage
and delivery where the felt is confined and compressed in
assembly. Resilient padding and plug filters for gas and air.
SAE F-11 & SAE F-12
Medium low density felts recommended for uses similar to those
of SAE F-10 where less durability can be tolerated. Typical
applications are: Dry drum seals, Impregnated packings, Dash
liners, Anti-squeak strips and pads, Sound deadening and other
acoustic uses.
SAE F-13 & SAE F-15
Low density felts with a wide range of uses where resistance
to abrasion, durability and wear are not important requirements,
such as: Spacing strips, Sound deadening, Fuel oil filters,
Anti-rattle applications, and grease and oil retention.
SAE F-26
Low density felt recommended for non-mechanical applications
when retained between other materials. Padding and packing
are typical uses.
SAE F-50
A high grade, high density felt similar to SAE F-1, but made
in thicknesses below 1/8". Recommended for mechanical
applications where an accurate, thin, smooth, high grade,
felt is required. Typical uses are: Ball and roller bearing
oil retainer washers and Small dust excluding washers.
SAE F-51
A high grade, high density felt similar to SAE F-3, but made
in thicknesses below 1/8". This felt is recommended for
the same applications as SAE F-50, but where tolerances and
lengths of life are not as important. Typical uses are thin
cut parts such as gaskets and liners.
SAE F-55
A medium low density felt similar to SAE F-7, but made in
thicknesses below 1/8". This felt is recommended for
uses where high durability is not required, such as: Anti-squeak
strips and Sound deadening when glued to panels.
