Standard Test Method for Sealability of Enveloped Gaskets

Importancia y uso:

4.1 This test method is designed to evaluate all types of enveloped gaskets under controlled conditions with respect to leakage and to provide measurable leakage rates.

4.2 Determining torque required to seal a given gasket is also part of this test method. By converting the torque at sealing to total bolt load, useful design information may be obtained for other standard and nonstandard openings.

4.3 This test method may be used as an incoming quality control test to evaluate similar gaskets from different suppliers. This test method may also be used as a quality control test when parameters are agreed upon between the producer and the user.

4.4 Leakage through the gasket or over the gasket, or both, is determined by this test method.
