5、ion are ob-tained from compressed-thickness measurements on cylindri-cally shaped soft-solder plugs (50-50 lead-tin by weight)inserted into holes, drilled or punched through the gasket in thethickness direction. Initial compression is accomplished in theflanged-joint assembly when the bolts are load

6、ed at ambienttemperature. Solder, being inelastic, will remain at the com-pressed thickness of the gasket after the joint is subsequentlydisassembled.4. Significance and Use4.1 Gasket compressions produced by bolt loads in aflanged joint are important in the application engineering of ajoint assembl

7、y. They are related to the ability of a gasket toseal, to maintain tightness on assembly bolts, and to a varietyof other gasket properties that determine the service behaviorof a joint assembly. Thus, being able to determine the degree ofcompression in a gasket under the bolt loading will permit one

8、to make qualitative predictions of the behavior of a jointassembly when it comes in contact with the application orservice environment. With the plug test, bending of a flangefacing between bolt centers can be measured; however, in afew highly distortable flanges the maximum bending betweenbolt cent

9、ers may not be detected.4.2 The variation in gasket compressions at selected pointsin a flat-face joint assembly reveals the degree of flangedistortion or the ability of the flange to distribute satisfactorilythe compressive forces from bolt loads throughout the gasket.5.

Thesolder plugs are punched from the strip by means of the leatherpu

12、nch. Recommended plug diameter is 0.8 mm (132 in.) andthe height need only be such that the plug is compressed by theflanges when the gasket is also compressed. The initialthickness of the plug and gasket before compression need notbe equal.6. Test Specimens6.1 Three gasket specimens shall be tested

13、. The size andshape of the specimens must be such as to fit the particularflange design.7. Conditioning7.1 When the test is performed on an assembly line or in aservice environment, sufficient time should elapse for theflanges, bolts, and gasket to reach equilibrium with the ambient1This practice is

(Heavycastings or forgings may require 8 to 24 h or more, contrastedto a brief period for light stampings.)7.2 When the test is performed under controlled conditionsin the laboratory

17、 the gasket specimen is conditioned in accor-dance with Specification E171, or in the humidity and tem-perature conditions used prior to obtaining the load-compression curve. Flange fasteners and washers are held atthe test conditions for at least 4 h prior to assembly.8. Procedure8.1 Use the same f

18、langes, fasteners, and washers as thosespecified for applications. Clean them with reagent-gradetrichloroethylene or other suitable solvent. Use cleansing tissueto remove dirt, oil, or grease. After cleaning, give the matingscrew threads a light coating of SAE 20 engine oil to minimizefriction.8.2 M

Make holes, slightly larger than the solder plugs, in thegasket at the points where compressions are to be evaluated.Insert the plugs upright in the holes with the gasket resting onthe lower flange facing. Then assemble the test assembly in

20、thecustomary manner. Immediately disassemble the test assembly.Make compressed-thickness measurements on the solder plugs.These measurements are equal to the compressed thicknessexhibited by the gasket when it was loaded in the test assembly.9. Calculation and Interpretation of Results9.1 Calculate

21、the compression as a percentage of the origi-nal gasket thickness as follows:C 5to2 tc!/to#3100 (1)where:C = percentage compression in the gasket,to= initial uncompressed thickness of the gasket, andtc= compressed-gasket thickness as measured on a solderplug.9.2 Fig. 2 illustrates a graph plotting c
