KLINGER top-sil-ML1 Unique Multi-Layer* material concept – A milestone for fibre reinforced gaskets KLINGER ®top-sil-ML1 Revolutionary combination of synthetic fibres and different elastomers bound in a Multi-Layer* structure. *Patent pending KLINGER – The global leader in static sealing

KLINGER top-sil-ML1 Unique Multi-Layer material concept * Detailed information about the Multi-Layer concept can be supplied separately on request. For quite some years the sealing industry in general has been unable to offer an adequate substitute for the KLINGERit gasket. This gasket, because of its absence of embrittlement at high temperatures was extremely successful. We are pleased to advise that exactly 110 years after the invention of KLINGERit, KLINGER is able to re-confirm its leading position in the field of fibre reinforced gaskets with the latest development KLINGER®top-sil-ML1. This...

KLINGER top-sil-ML1 A milestone for fibre reinforced gaskets ® Tightness behaviour in saturated steam This test is an excellent method to test the decomposition of elastomer bounded sealing materials within a reasonable time. The applied temperature of 320° C coupled with an environment of saturated steam at around 120 bar provides a stringent test for the elastomers. The arduous nature of the test conditions is designed to promote decomposition of the samples, allowing an assessement of ageing resistance of the Multi-Layer materials. By these extrem testing conditions a differentiation of different...

The many, varied demands placed on gaskets A common perception is that the suitability of a gasket for any given application depends upon the maximum temperature and pressure conditions. This is not the case. In area one, the gasket material is normally suitable subject to chemical compatibility. In area two, the gasket materials may be suitable but a technical evaluation is recommended. *Gaskets according to DIN 2690 are only standardised up to PN 40 and gasket thickness 2 mm. Klinger Hot and Cold Compression Test Method The Klinger Hot Compression Test was developed by Klinger as a method to...

KLINGER top-sil-ML1 Flanged joint integrity ® Min. surface pressure σVU for tightness classes L = 1.0, L = 0.1 and L = 0.01 in accordance to DIN 28090 The minimum surface pressure is the minimum surface pressure that should be applied to the gasket to achieve the necessary tightness requirements. The value must be sufficient to compress the material into the flange imperfections, reduce the materials porosity and also counteract the release of load due to the internal pressure. The diagrams below show the minimum gasket stress required to achieve the relevant tightness classes as a function of...

KLINGER top-sil-ML1 Flanged joint integrity ® Important points to be observed With heightened awareness of safety and environmental issues, reducing leaks from flanged assemblies has become a major priority for industry. It is therefore important for companies who use gaskets to choose the correct material for the job and install and maintain it correctly to ensure optimum performance. Leak mg/(sm) Leak mg/(sm) High temperature tightness High temperature tightness is measured by means of the Klinger Hot Compression test under defined constant gasket load and temperature with increasing internal...

KLINGER top-sil-ML1 Installation instructions ® The following guidelines are designed to ensure the optimum performance of our gasket materials: 5. Gasket Dimensions Ensure gasket dimensions are correct. The gasket should not intrude into the bore of the pipework and should be installed centrally. 8. Retightening Provided that the above guidelines are followed retightening of the gasket after joint assembly should 1. Choosing the gasket not be necessary. There are many factors which must If retightening is considered be taken into account when choosing 6. Bolting necessary, then this should only...
