1、Designation: F112 00 (Reapproved 2013)Standard Test Method forSealability of Enveloped Gaskets1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F112; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of originaladoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A n

2、umber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscriptepsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the evaluation of the sealingproperties of enveloped gaskets for use with corrosion-resistantprocess equipment.2

3、Enveloped gaskets are described as gas-kets having some corrosion-resistant covering over the internalarea normally exposed to the corrosive environment. Theshield material may be plastic (such as polytetrafluoroethylene)or metal (such as tantalum). A resilient conformable filler isusually used insi

4、de the envelope. The design and constructionof nonmetallic gaskets is covered in Practice F336.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, ass

5、ociated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.

6、 Test Methods for Sealability of Gasket MaterialsF336 Practice for Design and Construction of NonmetallicEnveloped Gaskets for Corrosive Service2.2 ASTM Adjuncts:Detailed Drawing of Test Fixture43. Summary of Method3.1 An enveloped gasket is compressed between two boltedflanges in a special test fix

7、ture.5After the specified load isapplied to the gasket, air at the specified pressure is introducedinto the test chamber and then the test chamber is sealed.Pressure and temperature readings are taken and recorded atspecified intervals. The leakage rate is measured by the changein the test chamber p

8、ressure over time. The flange load on thegasket is increased and the process is repeated.3.2 Results of the sealability test are expressed as a graph ofthe remaining test chamber pressure versus time for thespecified conditions.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method is designed to evaluate all

9、types ofenveloped gaskets under controlled conditions with respect toleakage and to provide measurable leakage rates.4.2 Determining torque required to seal a given gasket isalso part of this test method. By converting the torque atsealing to total bolt load, useful design information may beobtained

10、 for other standard and nonstandard openings.4.3 This test method may be used as an incoming qualitycontrol test to evaluate similar gaskets from different suppliers.This test method may also be used as a quality control testwhen parameters are agreed upon between the producer and theuser.4.4 Leakag

11、e through the gasket or over the gasket, or both,is determined by this test method.5. Apparatus5.1 Leakage Test UnitThe unit5shall contain a suitablepressure gauge to read from 0 to 2.1 MPa (0 to 300 psig) andmounted as shown in Fig. 1.5.2 Compressed Air Supply, capable of supplying 621 kPa(90 psig)

12、 to the test unit.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F03 on Gasketsand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F03.10 on Composite Gaskets.Current edition approved May 1, 2013. Published May 2013. Originallyapproved in 1970. Last previous edition approved in 2006 as F

13、112 00 (2006).DOI: 10.1520/F0112-00R13.2This test method is to be used in place of Test Methods F37, which apply onlyto single-component gasket materials and are not applicable to envelope-stylegaskets. This fixture may also be used for other gasket materials or designs, with orwithout modification.

Hazards6.1 Use only a unit suitable for a minimum of 1034 kPa(150 psig).6.2 A metal shield box with access doors is sugges

18、ted as anadded safety factor.6.3 Prior to performing any tests, inspect the unit fordamage, corrosion, and also for metal fatigue cracks that mayhave developed.7. Test Specimen7.1 Commercial 102-mm (4-in.) nominal size envelopedgasket with a shield 102 mm (4 in.) in inside diameter(minimum) and inse

19、rts 114 mm (4.5 in.) in inside diameter by175 mm (6.88 in.) in outside diameter. The thickness of the testgasket will depend upon its expected usage and must bespecified in the report as results will vary accordingly.8. Conditioning8.1 Conditioning of the test gasket is not necessary sincethis test

20、method is designed for shelf stock. Assembledenveloped gaskets and the components used in their construc-tion would not be affected by aging under normal storageconditions.9. Procedure9.1 The temperature for this test is normally ambient roomtemperature.9.2 Assemble the gasket in the test unit.9.3 L

21、ubricate the bolt threads well using molydisulfide dryfilm or grease. Sanding the bottom of the bolt heads and thewashers will minimize torque variables and ensure duplicationof results.9.4 Gradually and evenly tighten the bolts to 39 Nm (29lbfft) following the sequence indicated by the numbers in F

22、ig.2. Progression of the tightening on each bolt should be inapproximately 7-Nm (5-lbfft) increments.9.5 Apply 621 kPa (90 psig) of air pressure into the test unitand seal. Record the pressure readings every hour for4handthen at the end of 20 h, but since the readings are temperaturedependent, take

23、and record the temperature within the oil-filledthermowell to coincide with the time of the pressure readings.Apply corrections if required.9.6 Fill the test fixture thermowell three-quarters full with alight oil.6Allow 15 minutes for the temperature to stabilize,and insert the temperature sensor.9.

24、7 Retighten the bolts to 57 Nm (42 lbfft) in accordancewith 9.4 and proceed as in 9.5.9.8 Continue testing using bolt tensions of 85 Nm (63lbfft), 102 Nm (75 lbfft), and 122 Nm (90 lbfft) inaccordance with 9.4 and proceed as in 9.5.9.9 Repeat 9.2-9.8 using another gasket from the same lot.10.
