About the Klinger Pressure & Temperature Graphs
|
The pressure/temperature charts shown for Klingersil compressed 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 Klingersil 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 insure maximum performance. Please call or refer to the Klinger-expert software system for assistance.
{3} In area three, DO NOT INSTALL GASKETS in these applications without first referring to the Klinger-expert software system or contacting Thermoseal Inc.'s technical support service. |
| These graphs were developed from testing Klinger materials. Do not use them for competitor's materials since non-asbestos gasketing materials do not have service equivalents. | |
