Description / Abstract:
Purpose.
This procedure describes the static measurement of applied
sealing pressure and its distribution between the gasket and joint
surfaces using color forming pressure sensitive films (e.g.,
Prescale from FUJIFILM Electronic Materials U.S.A., Inc., or
PressureX from Sensor Products Inc.). From the color intensity it
is possible to visually and quantitatively measure sealing pressure
and its distribution across the contact surface. This procedure is
recommended for use on all compression gaskets, o-rings, and seals
as an initial sealing pressure analysis tool during the development
and validation of a part, component or assembly.
Applicability. This procedure is recommended
for use on all compression gaskets, o-rings, and seals.
