This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all 22 Chapter One the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of whoever uses this standard to consult and establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. ASTM D1329 Low-Temperature Retraction. Scope: This test method covers a temperature-retraction procedure for rapid evaluation of crystallization effects and for comparing viscoelastic properties of rubber and rubberlike materials at low temperatures.

These are usually rectangular- or triangular- shaped gaskets, machined cross sections from solid metal. They are used for high-pressure and high-temperature services where operating conditions require a special joint design. These gaskets usually seal by virtue of a line contact or wedging action which causes surface flow. , the higher the pressure, the tighter the joint. Metal wire. These gaskets are generally made from round wire of the desired diameter cut to the length of the gasket mean circumference, then formed into a circle and welded.

Reports of decreased tool life abound. Some fabricators indicate a reduction of tool life by factors of '/3 to The exact reason or reasons for the increased wear are not known, but many gasket manufacturers are conducting investigations of tool wear. The Gasket Fabricators Association (GFA) also is conducting an investigation in die wear. x0. Scuff resistance The sheet material's ability to resist scuffing is important to the gasket fabricator. The rough handling and transporting of materials during fabrication can result in scuffing of surfaces of the gaskets.
