1、Designation: F 36 99 (Reapproved 2003)Standard Test Method forCompressibility and Recovery of Gasket Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 36; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of originaladoption or, in the case of revision, the year of la

2、st revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscriptepsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers determination

3、of the short-timecompressibility and recovery at room temperature of sheet-gasket materials, form-in-place gaskets, and in certain cases,gaskets cut from sheets. It is not intended as a test forcompressibility under prolonged stress application, generallyreferred to as “creep,” or for recovery follo

4、wing such pro-longed stress application, the inverse of which is generallyreferred to as “compression set.” Also, it is not intended fortests at other than room temperature. A resiliency characteristic(the amount recovered expressed as a percentage of thecompressed thickness) may also be calculated

5、from the testdata where desired.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user o

6、f this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Apparatus3.1 The testing machine4shall consist of the followingcomponents:3.1.1 AnvilA hardened and ground surface of 31.7 mm(1.250 in.) minimum diameter.3.1.2 PenetratorA steel cylinder of diameter (within 60.025 mm (0.001 in.) specified for the type o

8、f material beingtested, with the cylinder end hardened and ground. Penetratordiameters for various types of gasket materials are as shown inTable 1, unless otherwise specified.3.1.3 DialAn indicating dial, or dials, graduated in 0.025mm (0.001 in.) to show the thickness of the specimen duringthe tes

9、t. Readings shall be estimated to the nearest 0.002 mm(0.0001 in.).3.1.4 PreloadA preload which shall include the weight ofthe penetrator itself and added weights to give the valuespecified within 61 %. Preloads for various types of gasketmaterials are as shown in Table 1, unless otherwise specified

10、.3.1.5 Loading Device A device for applying a specifiedmajor load to the upper end of the penetrator, which mayconsist of an arrangement of dead weights, a hydraulic cylin-der, an air cylinder, or any other device capable of applying themajor load at a slow uniform rate and to an accuracy of 61%.The

11、 major load shall be in addition to the specified preload.Major loads for various types of gasket materials are as shownin Table 1, unless otherwise specified.4. Test Specimen4.1 The test specimen in Procedures A through K, inclusive,as described in Table 1, shall have a minimum area of 6.5 cm2 (1 i

12、n.2) in the form of a square, except in the case of corkcomposition, and cork and cellular rubber materials, whichshall have a test specimen in the form of a circle 6.5 cm2inarea. The test specimen shall consist of a single ply or a numberof superimposed plies sufficient to give a minimum nominalthi

13、ckness of 1.6 mm (116 in.) for all materials except corkcomposition, cork and rubber materials, and cork and cellularrubber materials, for which the minimum nominal thicknessshall be 3.2 mm (18 in.). If applied to specimens outside of thetest thicknesses, the results shall be regarded merely asindic

14、ative. For specification purposes, agreement on compress-ibility and recovery figures shall be reached between producerand consumer for those materials whose thickness in a singleply or multiple plies does not fall within the tolerances of thetwo nominal thicknesses specified.

Thespecimen shall contain no joint or separation within theminimum test area.4.2 The test specimen for Procedure L, as described in Table1, shall be at least two in. long and wider than the penetratorused for the test. It shall consist of a single ply and contain

18、nojoint or separation. No thickness tolerances are given forgaskets covered by this procedure. Test results shall beregarded merely as indicative.5. Conditioning of Specimens5.1 Specimens shall be conditioned as specified for theparticular type of material. Conditioning procedures for vari-ous types

19、 of gasket materials are as shown in Table 1, unlessotherwise specified.5.2 If a mechanical means of maintaining 50 to 55 %relative humidity is not available, a tray containing a saturatedsolution of reagent grade magnesium nitrate (Mg(NO3)26H2O) shall be placed in the chamber to provide the require

20、drelative humidity. In all cases where testing is conductedoutside the area of specified humidity, specimens shall beremoved from the chamber one at a time as needed.6. Temperature of Test6.1 The test shall be conducted with both specimen andapparatus at a temperature of 21 to 30C (70 to 85F).7. Pro

21、cedure7.1 Determine the amount of deflection of the penetrator ateach of the loads used in the test with no specimens present.Add the absolute value of this penetrator deflection to thethickness under total load M in 9.1 to obtain a correctedreading. The values are machine constants which may vary f

22、ordifferent instrument designs.7.2 Center the test specimen upon the anvil and apply thepreload and maintain for a period of 15 s, and record thepreloaded thickness of the specimen. Immediately apply themajor load in a slow uniform manner so that the total load isattained within 10 s. Guide the pene

23、trator in its descent so thatthe surface remains parallel to the surface of the anvil.Maintain the total load for a period of 60 s, and record thethickness of the specimen. Immediately remove the major load,and after a period of 60 s record the thickness of the specimenunder the original preload. Th

Calculation9.1 The compressibility and recovery shall be calculated asfollows:TABLE 1 Conditioning and Test Loads for Gasket Material
