Product catalog summary
Product Overview: SF 3500 is a high-performance compressed non-asbestos gasket material, ideal for use in pumps, including split case pumps. It is reinforced with glass and aramid fibers and uses an NBR binder.
Service and Physical Properties: The material can withstand a maximum temperature of 824°F (440°C) and a maximum pressure of 3000 psi (20.7 MPa). It operates effectively within a pH range of 3 to 11. The material is red in color, with a density of 100 lb/ft³ (1.60 g/cm³). Available sheet thickness ranges from 1/64” to 0.020” (0.40 mm - 0.50 mm), and sheet sizes include 60” x 60” and 60” x 120”.
Mechanical Properties (ASTM F152): Cross grain tensile strength is 3335 psi (23.0 MPa), and with grain tensile strength is 6670 psi (46.0 MPa).
Immersion Properties (ASTM F146): Thickness increase in Oil #3 at 300°F is 4%, and in Fuel B at 70 - 85°F is 7%. Weight increase data is not available.
Sealing Properties: ASTM F36J compressibility is 10%, with a recovery of 62%. Nitrogen gas permeability according to BS 7531 is 0.01 mL/min.
Design Information: The FSA gasket constants are m = 3.7 and y = 3335 psi (23.00 MPa). Recommended surface finish is between 125 - 250 µin (3.2 - 6.3 µm). The ASTM callout is 712120E32M7.
Pressure and Temperature: The maximum temperature at a thickness of 0.020 inches is 752°F, and the maximum pressure is 3000 psi. Note that maximum pressure and temperature cannot be used simultaneously.
Manufacturing Locations: Major plants are located in Deer Park, Texas, USA, and Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, UK.
