About the Pressure and Temperature Graphs
The pressure/temperature charts shown for Klinger®sil compressed and graphite materials are the most current method of determining the suitability of a gasket material in a known environment. Use the pressure and temperature graphs to select the most suitable Klinger®sil material for your application.
1 In area one, the gasket material is suitable using common installation practices subject to chemical compatibility.
2 In area two, appropriate measures are necessary for installation of the gasket to ensure maximum performance. Please call or refer to the KLINGERexpert® software system for assistance.
3 In area three, do not install gaskets in these applications without first referring to the KLINGERexpert® software system or contacting Thermoseal Inc.’s technical support service.
These graphs were developed from testing Klinger materials. Do not use them for competitors’ materials since non-asbestos gasketing materials do not have service equivalents.
The ability of a material to make a seal depends on several factors including the quality of material, medium being sealed, thickness of the gasket material, flange design, amount of pressure applied to the gasket by the bolts, and how the gasket is assembled into the flanges and tightened. Because conditions of use are beyond the manufacturer’s control, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the product is suitable for the intended use. Application of release agents to the gasket assembly may cause premature failure.
