BS EN 13555:2014EN 13555:2014 (E) 5 Introduction This document provides the test procedures to allow the generation of the gasket parameters to enable the design equations established in EN 1591-1 to be employed. The same test pro

26、cedures may be used for “Type Testing” of gaskets and gasket materials. These procedures are not for routine quality control purposes. BS EN 13555:2014EN 13555:2014 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the gasket parameters required by EN 1591-1 and provides the test procedures for establi

27、shing the values of these parameters. Gaskets which are wholly based upon elastomers, or based upon elastomers with only the inclusion of particulate fillers or particulate reinforcement, as opposed to gaskets combining elastomers, fillers and fibrous reinforcement, are beyond the scope of this docu

28、ment. NOTE The testing procedures given might be applicable to gaskets of other shapes and dimensions. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
