The Flange Gasket division of the ESA and FSA are in the process of establishing a new test procedure for Spiral Wound Gaskets. Although this is not a performance test it is hoped that it could be adapted and created into a standard and also extended to cover Kamm Profile gaskets. The test procedure is in it’s early days of creation and Henri Azibert is coordinating the programme. If you would like to have your say in this development then please contact either Mark Neal or Henri directly.
You can find the latest draft of the SWG testing standard in the Members Area. If you don’t have the contact, please email Mark Neal.
