NOTES:

  1. When approaching maximum pressure and continuous operating temperature, consult Garlock Applications Engineering.
  2. ASTM F37B Sealability
    ASTM Fuel A (isooctane):
       Gasket load = 500 psi (3.5 N/mm2),
       Internal pressure = 9.8 psig (0.7 bar)
    Nitrogen:
       Gasket load = 3000 psi (20.7 N/mm2),
       Internal pressure = 30 psig (2 bar)
  3. DIN 3535 Part 4 Gas Permeability, cc/min. (1/16" thick)
    Nitrogen:
       Gasket load = 4640 psi (32 N/mm2),
       Internal pressure = 580 psig (40 bar).

All styles are furnished with an anti-stick parting agent as standard.
