Product catalog summary
Introduction
KLINGERSIL C-4500 is a high-performance gasket material composed of carbon fibers and special heat-resistant additives bonded with NBR. It is designed for use in strongly alkaline media and steam, particularly in the chemical industry.

Specifications
The material is suitable for applications involving high temperatures and pressures, but its suitability is not solely defined by these factors. The Klinger pT diagram helps determine the material's suitability based on operating temperature and pressure, considering additional stresses like fluctuating loads.

Testing Methods
The Klinger Hot Compression Test evaluates the load-bearing capabilities of gasket materials under hot and cold conditions, maintaining constant gasket stress throughout the test. This method subjects the gasket to severe conditions, simulating the first start-up phase.

Surface Pressure and Tightness
The maximum permissible surface pressure under operating conditions is defined by DIN 28090-1. The minimum surface pressure required for tightness classes L = 1.0, L = 0.1, and L = 0.01 is also specified. The material's behavior under various conditions is illustrated in diagrams.

Installation Instructions
Key guidelines include choosing the correct gasket material, ensuring proper gasket thickness, maintaining flange condition, and using appropriate bolting techniques. Retightening should only be performed at ambient temperature before or during the first start-up phase.

Technical Data
Typical values for compressibility, recovery, stress relaxation, and tightness are provided. The material is suitable for high-pressure applications with strong alkali media, steam, oils, gases, and various chemicals.

Dimensions and Surfaces
Standard sheet sizes and thicknesses are specified, with tolerances for thickness, length, and width. Surfaces of low adhesion are standard, with options for graphite facings.

Approvals and Certifications
The product is fire-safe according to API SPEC 6 FA, approved for gas supply, and meets various international standards, including DIN EN ISO 9001:2008.

Conclusion
KLINGERSIL C-4500 is a premium gasket material offering high stress retention and durability, suitable for demanding applications in the chemical industry.

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. In area three, do not install the gasket without a technical evaluation. *Gaskets according to DIN 2690 are only standardised up to PN 40 and gasket thickness 2 mm.
