ASTM F 36 Document Information:
Title
Standard Test Method for Compressibility and Recovery of Gasket Materials
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Apr 10, 1999
Scope:
This test method covers determination of the short-time
compressibility and recovery at room
temperature of sheet-gasket materials, form-in-place gaskets, and in
certain cases, gaskets cut
from sheets. It is not intended as a test for compressibility under
prolonged stress application,
generally referred to as "creep," or for recovery following such
prolonged stress application, the
inverse of which is generally referred to as "compression set." Also,
it is not intended for tests
at other than room temperature. A resiliency characteristic (the
amount recovered expressed as a
percentage of the compressed thickness) may also be calculated from
the test data where desired.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The
values given in parentheses
are for information only.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
