Standard Test Methods for Sealability of Gasket Materials

Importancia y uso:

4.1 These test methods are designed to compare gasket materials under controlled conditions and to provide a precise measure of leakage rate.

4.2 These test methods are suitable for measuring leakage rates as high as 6 L/h and as low as 0.3 mL/h. In many cases, “zero” leakage may not be attainable.

4.3 These test methods evaluate leakage rates after time periods that are typically 5 to 30 min under load. Holding a gasket material under load for extended time periods may give different results.

4.4 If the fluid being used in the test causes changes, such as swelling, in the gasket material, then unpredictable results may be obtained.
