3、ribing pertinent properties of commercial nonme-tallic gasket materials. Materials composed of asbestos, cork,cellulose, and other organic or inorganic materials in combi-nation with various binders or impregnants are included.Materials normally classified as rubber compounds are notincluded, since

4、they are covered in Classification D2000.Gasket coatings are not covered, since details thereof areintended to be given on engineering drawings or in separatespecifications. Facing materials for laminate composite gasketmaterials (LCGM) are included in Classification System F104.Assembled LCGMs are

5、covered in Classification F868.1.2 Since all of the properties that contribute to gasketperformance are not included, use of the classification systemas a basis for selecting materials is limited.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.

Significance and Use3.1 This classification system is intended to encourageuniformity in reporting properties; to provide a commonlanguage for communications between suppliers and consum-ers; to guide engineers and designers in the test methodscommonly used for comme

12、rcially available materials; and tobe versatile enough to cover new materials and test methods asthey are introduced.3.2 This system is based on the principle that nonmetallicgasket materials can be described in terms of specific physicaland mechanical properties. This enables the user, or producer,

Basis of Classification4.1 To per

16、mit “line call-out” of a materials physical andmechanical properties, this classification system establishesletter and number symbols for various performance levels ofeach property or characteristic.4.2 Each “line call out” shall include:- ASTM F104- In parentheses, the letter “F” followed by 6 nume

17、ralsdescribing the required basic characteristics per 8.1.- Within the same parentheses, a dash “-” shall follow the basiccharacteristics, along with any supplemental characteristics per8.2.All six (6) numeric fields defining the basic characteristicsmust be occupied. If a particular characteristic

18、is not required,a “0” must be used as a placeholder to indicate such.4.3 The six (6) numeric fields used in the basic character-istics define (in order):(1) Principal reinforcement(2) Manufacturing method(3) Compressibility(4) Thickness increase in IRM 903 oil(5) Weight increase in IRM 903 oil(6) We

19、ight increase in waterExample 1:ASTM F104 (F725400) describes a gasket material with onlybasic characteristics defined as follows: first numeral 7(non-asbestos fiber, tested as type 1); second numeral 2(beater process); third numeral 5 (20 to 30 % compressibilityper Test Method F36); forth numeral 4

20、 (15 to 30 % thicknessincrease after immersion in IRM 903 Oil per Test MethodsF146); fifth numeral 0 (no Requirement for weight increasein IRM 903 oil per Test Methods F146); sixth numeral 0 (norequirement for weight increase in water per Test MethodsF146).4.4 Supplemental characteristics may be add

21、ed to line callout based on the needs of the application. The alpha numericsused to specify various supplemental characteristics are definedin 8.2.Example 2:ASTM F104 (F725400-B5E66M4) describes a gasket materialwith the same basic characteristics defined by Example 1,along with supplemental charact

22、eristics defined as follows: B5(30 % creep relaxation per Test Methods F38); E66 (60 %weight change, and 15 to 35 % thickness change inASTM FuelB per Test Methods F146); M4 (no less than 6.895 MPa tensilestrength per Test Methods F152).4.5 The numeral “9” is used when the description of anycharacter

23、istic (or test related thereto) is specified by somesupplement to this classification system, such as notes onengineering drawings. This notation may be used to modify atest characteristic to a value not available in the tables; definegasket binder type; note use and type of a surface release agent;

24、or note use and type of an adhesive system.Example 3:Using the same example and adding an L suffix requirement,ASTM F104 (F725400-B5E66M4L169), since the 9 needs tobe defined on the engineering drawing, it is recommended todefine the “As Specified” requirement immediately after theF104 line call out

25、. In this case, for L169, the 1 defines theprimary fiber as Aramid, the 6 indicates the secondary fiber iscellulose both per 8.2, and the 9 is defined immediately afterthe line call out as shown here:ASTM F104 (F725400-B5E66M4L169); L169 (ACM Binder)NOTE 1While this “cell-type” format provides the m

26、eans for closecharacterization and specification of each property and combinations ofproperties for a broad range of materials, it is subject to possiblemisapplications, since impossible property combinations can be coded ifthe user is not familiar with available commercial materials.
