On-Site Lab Testing
Some of Thermoseal's quality assurance short and temporal tests include:
KLINGER Hot Compression Test
An advanced technology developed and patented by Klinger that tests the load bearing capabilities of the gasket under constant pressure (up to 7250 psi) and temperature (73°F up to 930°F).
DIN Sealability Test
An added measure to check gas permeability of sealing material using higher internal pressures.
• DIN 3535/6
ASTM Sealability Test
A means of evaluating the fluid sealing properties of gasket material under different compressive flange loads, fluids and internal pressures.
• ASTM F-37A/B
Compressibility and Recovery Test
Measures how much the material compresses under a 5000 psi load and its ability to recover after the load is reduced.
• ASTM F-36J
Live Steam Line
Closely monitors gasket material subjected to real life plant conditions.
Tensile Test
Determines the strength of the material using ASTM-specified tensile bars to measure force required to break.
• ASTM F-152
Elevated Temperature Sealability
A computer-controlled Klinger exclusive test running 24/7 to assist in predicting the life of the material and the point of failure relative to gas leakage.
Stress Relaxation Test
Measure how much a material will relax at a given surface pressure and temperature.
• DIN 52913
Density Check
A measurement of the mass to the volume of the material.
• ASTM F-1315
