ASTM F37B Sealability
ASTM Fuel A (isooctane):
Gasket load = 500 psi (3.5 N/mm
2
), Int. pressure = 9.8 psig (0.7 bar)
Nitrogen:
Gasket load = 3,000 psi (20.7 N/mm
2
), Int. pressure = 30 psig (2 bar)

DIN 3535 Part 4 Gas Permeability, cc/min. (1/16" thick)
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.
Nitrogen:
Gasket load = 4,640 psi (32 N/mm
2
), Int. pressure = 580 psig (40 bar)

Saturated steam service guidelines:
• For optimal performance, use thinner gaskets when possible.
• Minimum recommended assembly stress = 4,800 psi.
• Preferred assembly stress = 6,000 psi to 10,000 psi.
• Retorque the bolts/studs prior to pressurizing the assembly.
• If the service is superheated steam, contact Applications Engineering.
* Values do not constitute specification limits
All styles are furnished with an anti-stick parting agent as standard.
