Tested Quality. Your Advantage.For example RPM 511 measures the deformation (compressibility and recovery)as a function of surface stress (alsoknown as LDC load deflectioncurves). RPM 510 hot compression testmeasures creep relaxation undertemperature for different surfacestress levels.With all these tests we ensure thatyou receive materials that are idealfor your applications. Naturally, wehave all required ISO certifications,e.g. ISO/TS 16949.Strict Testing Methods, International Certificates, WorldwideReferences.Rest assured that you’re alwaysreceiving the best quality.Gasket material is our business –and we know it as few others do.Of course, we test our materials according to DIN and ASTM standards,but even these do not cover all properties essential in practical application.For this reason we always go one stepfurther. We use our own additionalstandards, designated as RPM (Reinztest methods), which guarantee highest quality – for your safety’s sake. 21

Practical Tips for Gaskets. Retorqueing of bolts is recommended before commissioning tocompensate for potential settling ofthe gasket. Retorqueing of fiber or PTFE basedgaskets that have been in operationmust only be done under ambienttemperature. Retorque with greatcare in several steps to avoid damage to the gasket.InstallationCorrect installation is a basic requirement for the reliable function of a gasket. The surface stress at assemblyhas to be in between the minimumrequired and maximum permissible forthe respective gasket material. Use only new, undamaged, anddry gaskets. Please consider ourstorage recommendations, providedbelow. Clean the sealing surfaces carefullywithout scratching them. Make surethat the sealing surfaces are dry. Center the gasket. Do not applyany additional sealing compound,grease, releasing agent or similarsubstance to the gasket or the sealing surfaces. Do not use corroded bolts, nutsor washers. The calculated surface stress must match the actually achieved stress. Therefore, thebolts and nuts should be lubricatedslightly. Align the two sealing surfaces andtighten the bolts by hand. In order to achieve an even distribution of the surface stress, the boltsmust be torqued to the specifiedvalue in star pattern using at leastthree steps. Example:- Step 1:20% of the specified torque- Step 2:60% of the specified torque- Step 3:100% of the specified torque All bolts must be torqued to thesame specified value.Storage recommendationsPlease consider the following storageconditions for fiber based gaskets andgasket material sheets:Recommended maximum storageperiod is two to three years under thefollowing conditions: Temperature: below 68 F Relative humidity: 30.60 % No direct sunlight No artificial lighting with highUV content No ozone Stress-free storageAny significant deviation from theabove will reduce the maximumstorage period. When critical (e.g.toxic) gases are to be sealed, thestorage period should not exceedone year. If necessary, the gaskets orgasket material sheets must be storedin airtight and lightproof packaging.WarningProperties/applications shown throughout this brochure are typical. Your specific application should not be implementedwithout independent study and evaluation for suitability. For specific application recommendations please consult us.Failure to select the proper sealing products could result in material damage and/or serious personal injury. Performancedata published in this brochure is based on field tests, customer field reports and/or in-house testing. Field conditions willaffect gasket performance. While utmost care has been taken while compiling this brochure,we assume no responsibilityfor errors. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
