1.1这些试验方法提供了一种在室温下评估片状和固态在位垫片材料密封性能的方法。试验方法A仅限于液体泄漏测量，而试验方法B可用于液体和气体泄漏测量。 1.2这些试验方法适用于评估垫片材料在不同压缩法兰载荷下的密封特性。当供应商和买方就以下参数的特定测试条件达成一致意见时，可将该测试方法用作验收测试:测试介质、介质上的内部压力和垫片试样上的法兰负载。 1.3以国际单位制表示的数值应视为标准。括号中的值仅供参考。 1.4本标准无意解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。 本标准的使用者有责任在使用前建立适当的安全和健康实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。（有关具体的危险说明，请参阅第6节、注释3和注释8。）

1.1 These test methods provide a means of evaluating the sealing properties of sheet and solid form-in-place gasket materials at room temperature. Test Method A is restricted to liquid leakage measurements, whereas Test Method B may be used for both liquid and gas leakage measurements. 1.2 These test methods are suitable for evaluating the sealing characteristics of a gasket material under different compressive flange loads. The test method may be used as an acceptance test when the supplier and the purchaser have agreed to specific test conditions for the following parameters: test medium, internal pressure on medium, and flange load on gasket specimens. 1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are for information only. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. (For specific hazard statements, see Section 6, Note 3, and Note 8.)
