Good Source for gasket compression information?
Good Source for gasket compression information?
(OP)
I have had trouble looking for various gasket material properties. Mostly having to do with compression characteristics.
Most of the time I can get the compression set for a material I am looking for, but not the compression strength or the minimum seating stress.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I just went ahead and designed a spacer to be able to torque the bolts to a hard stop and calculated the yielding point of the spacer and I will torque to less than this (10%)
since the application is a vacuum chamber the torque required is very low for such a large flange (1" bolts)
I was trying to look into the EN1591 since I had read that the method is a bit more modern and accurate than the ASME S8 D1 method, but I had not been able to find a copy and the through my works subscription program it was still prohibitively expensive.
Thanks again for the replies
