The body of the gasketshall be free of porosity and air pockets.6.2 Neither the flash thickness nor the flash extension shallexceed 1/32 in. (0.8 mm), at any point on the ring.6.3 The offset, or failure of the mold to regis

16、ter accurately,shall not exceed 1/64 in. (0.4 mm).7. Sampling7.1 For the stretch test specified in 8.9, sample gaskets shallbe selected at random from each shipment of gaskets. For eachof the other tests, gaskets shall be selected at random asrequired by the method of test specified.8. Test Methods8

17、.1 HardnessTest the gasket material for hardness inaccordance with Test Method D2240. As required, use TestMethod D1415 as the referee method. Make hardness measure-ments on specimens prepared in accordance with 8.2.However, hardness readings for guidance purposes shall betaken directly on the gaske

18、t, recognizing that these shall bepermitted to vary slightly from those taken on the dumbbellspecimens.8.2 Elongation and Tensile StrengthTest the gasket mate-rial for elongation and tensile strength in accordance with TestMethod D412. Cut standard ASTM Type C dumbbell speci-mens conforming to Fig.

19、1 (Apparatus for Tensile Set Test) ofTest Method D412 from sections of the gasket for this test. Toobtain a uniform thickness, these sections shall be permitted tobe buffed prior to cutting into dumbbell specimens, so as toproduce a finely ground surface without cuts or burns.8.3 Tear StrengthTest t

20、he gasket material for tear strengthin accordance with Test Method D624 using Die C.8.4 Compression SetTest the gasket material for compres-sion set using Test Method D395. For materials with a hardnessof 90 IRHD or higher Method A must be used. For materialswith a hardness less than 90 IRHD Method

21、B must be used.Oven age samples for 22 h at 158 6 2F (70 6 1C). Whenusing Test Method A, there shall be a maximum dimensionalchange of 12 %. When using Test Method B, there shall be amaximum dimensional change of 25 %.8.5 Heat AgingTest the gasket material for heat aging inaccordance with Test Metho

22、d D573. Prepare specimens inaccordance with 8.2, and for 96 h at 158 6 4F (70 6 2 C).Make hardness measurements as specified in 8.1.8.6 Water AbsorptionTest the gasket material for weightincrease due to water absorption in accordance with TestMethod D471. If a 1 in. (25.4 mm) specimen cannot be cutf

23、rom the sample gasket, use the greatest width obtainable.Immerse the test specimen in distilled water at 158 6 4F (706 2C) for seven days.8.7 Ozone ResistanceTest the gasket material for ozoneresistance in accordance with Test Method D1149, usingspecimens and procedure specified under Method B. The

24、ozoneconcentration shall be 150 pphm of air by volume. Agespecimens 100 h at 104 6 4F (40 6 2C) with a 20 %extension. Use a two-power hand magnification glass toexamine the gasket8.8 Oil ImmersionTest the gasket material for volumedecrease due to oil absorption in accordance with Test MethodD471. If

25、 a 1-in. (25.4 mm) specimen cannot be cut from thesample gasket, use the greatest width obtainable. The testspecimen shall be immersed in IRM 903 oil for 70 h at 212 64F (100 6 2C).8.9 Stretch Test for Spliced GasketsStretch gaskets untilthe circumference is increased by 50 %, then visually inspectf

26、or defects as described in 4.2 and 6.1. One percent of the totalspliced gaskets shall be tested with no failures.9. Certification9.1 When specified in the purchase order or contract, thepurchaser shall be furnished certification stating samples rep-resenting each lot have been tested and inspected a

27、s indicatedin this specification and the requirements have been met. Whenspecified in the purchase order or contract, a report of the testresults shall be furnished.10. Marking10.1 Each gasket shall be permanently marked with clearlylegible letters. These markings shall include the gasket manu-factu
