TESNIT® BA-SOFT TESNIT® BA-SOFT gasket material sheet has been specially developed for demanding applications where only low bolt loads are permissible and flange irregularities need to be compensated. It offers a high compressibility and an increased recovery in addition to improved mechanical and thermal performances. It can be used for sealing mineral oils, fuels, lubricants, refrigerants, steam, air and many other media. APPROPRIATE INDUSTRIES & APPLICATIONS AUTOMOTIVE AND ENGINE BUILDING INDUSTRIES THERMAL RESISTANCE SUPERIOR EXCELLENT SEALABILITY PERFORMANCE MECHANICAL RESISTANCE REFRIGERATION & COOLING CHEMICAL RESISTANCE VERY GOOD HEATING SYSTEMS COMPRESSORS & PUMPS Synthetic fibers, special fillers, NBR TECHNICAL DATA Typical values for a thickness of 2 mm Density Tensile strength Stress resistance Specific leak rate Thickness increase At room temperature: εKRW Peak temperature Continuous temperature - with steam Compression modulus At room temperature: εKSW At elevated temperature: εWSW/200 ˚C Creep relaxation

P-T diagram indicates the maximum permissible combination of internal pressure and service temperature which can be simultaneously applied for a given gasket’s thickness, size and tightness class. Given the wide variety of gasket applications and service conditions, these values should only be regarded as a guidance for the proper gasket assembly. In general, thinner gaskets exhibit better P-T properties. diagram represents values for 2 mm thickness. These values indicate the maximum in-service compressive pressures which can be applied on the gasket without risking destruction or damage to the...
