2、) RUBBER, IMPROVED WSS-M2D487-A1 COMPRESSION SET, 40 DUROMETER, LOW VOLATILES, LONG LIFE GASKET 1. SCOPE The material defined by this specification is a low modulus, low durometer, silicone rubber with low silicone volatiles, good compression set and stress relaxation, suitable for high temperature
3、service conditions. 2. APPLICATION This specification was released originally for material used as the third generation best-in-class gasket for use as oil pan and front cover gaskets. The material can be lightly loaded to impart sound damping and still retain good compression stress relaxation. Low
4、 volatile silicone rubber is needed to prevent silica contamination of emission components. 3.

5、IAL TESTING 3.4.1 Preparation of Test Specimens Whenever possible, all test specimens shall be die-cut from the finished parts. When not feasible, specimens cut from molded test sheets manufactured from the same material and with equivalent cure to molded parts are recommended. The test sheets shall
6、 have the following dimensions: 150 x 150 mm, min x 2.0 +/- 0.2 mm . Tensile Strength per ISO 37/ASTM D 412, die C, full thickness. If the length between the compression limiters is not long enough to accommodate a die C, use a die exactly one-half the dimensions of the die C. . Tear Strength per IS
7、O 34/ASTM D 624, full thickness. . Volume Change -25 mm x part width x part thickness. . Compression Set -25 mm long x part width x single thickness minus any skirt. Do not buff any sample including those with a bead, except for compression set. ENGINEERING MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONWSS-M2D487-A1Printed
