A new ASTM International standard will help gasket manufacturers test to see how their products handle various compressions and loads. The test method shows the compression properties of a gasket by measuring its deflection while subjected to an increasing load. ASTM International member Jim Lingenfelder says that the test can provide information at both ambient and elevated temperatures, helping…
