Silicone gasket properties

[Danbury]

Could any one be kind enough to provide me with design factors -"m" & "y" for silicone gasket 60 Shore "A"? I also need suggested seating stress, as well as allowable compressive stress for this gasket material, I contacted a few vendors but none could send out. Strange, is not it?
Thanks in advace.

Danbury, if you haven't contacted the major manufacturers, such as Flexitallic, Garlock, etc, you should do so, I would be very surprised if they couldn't provide the data.

Failing that I think you would be justified in using the Code values of 0.5, 0 for design. Seating and allowable compressive stresses will probably have to come from a manufacturer though.
