The Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) tests the sealing material compatibility for use in flanged connections with liquid and gaseous oxygen. Further information on the test procedure and the result can be found in the following test report. Please note that the test was conducted on the version of this product with no printing ink product identification.

CAUTION: Extra care is advised to ensure that the gasket surface is free from particulate contamination that accumulates due to static charge.

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.

GORE® Universal Pipe Gasket (Style 800) has received a PDA (Product Design Assessment) certificate under the ABS Approval Program.  The scope and limitations of this assessment are detailed on the pages attached to this certificate.
