This certificate is based on the test program of TÜV Anlagen- und Umwelttechnik or VDI 2440, November 2000 edition, which covers qualification testing of flange seals with respect to their leak rate, blow-out resistance and continuous functionality and verification of sealing characteristics and controlled production quality. The above points were verified in an initial test. Prerequisite is the use of flange systems made of steel, which, when installed, achieve or exceed minimum surface pressure.
