This specification covers a butyl rubber in the form of molded rings, compression seals, o-ring cord, and molded-in-place gaskets for aeronautical and aerospace applications. As AMS3238 is no longer valid for O-rings. For O-rings, the requirements of AMS7338 shall be met wherever AMS3238 is specified.
Rationale:
AMS7338 is a new specification issued as no AMS7xxx O-ring specification for butyl exists.
