This is a general guide and should not be the sole means of selecting or
rejecting this material. ASTM test results in accordance with ASTM F-104;
properties based on 1/32" (0.8mm) sheet thickness.
† When approaching maximum pressure and temperature, consult
Garlock Applications Engineering.

†† O.D. sizes 70" (1778 mm) and over
* Values do not constitute specification limits
Welded GYLON ®
Effective seal
¦ Patented** welding process produces large gaskets††
without dovetailed joints that permit leakage
¦ GYLON® material provides the excellent chemical re-
sistance of PTFE without creep relaxation and cold flow
problems
Versatile
¦ Ideal for corrosive applications with extra-large flanges
¦ Styles 3500, 3504, and 3510 can be welded using this
unique process
Conforms to FDA regulations

Note:
Due to unique dynamics of actuated pumps,
Garlock cannot specify temperature limits
for the Style 3522 materials. In a diaphragm
pump there are variables such as, but not
limited to: geometry, displacement, and pump
speed that greatly affect the diaphragm
performance. Experienced pump manufactur-
ers have confirmed that pumps used in low
and/or elevated service temperatures (40°F
to 200°F) should be de-rated with respect to
speed and pressure.
