Product catalog summary
Introduction
KLINGER®top-sil-ML1 is an innovative gasket material that combines synthetic fibers and elastomers in a Multi-Layer structure to enhance flexibility, thermal stability, and resistance to oxidation and aging.
Material Specifications
The Multi-Layer structure includes elastomers like HNBR and NBR, providing long-term flexibility and high thermal stability, reducing brittleness and decomposition under dynamic loads and high temperatures.
Performance and Testing
KLINGER®top-sil-ML1 has been tested for tightness in saturated steam and elasticity, showing superior aging resistance and flexibility. The Klinger Hot Compression Test evaluates its load-bearing capabilities under various temperatures and pressures.
Application Guidelines
When selecting gaskets, consider chemical compatibility and load fluctuations in addition to temperature and pressure. Use the Klinger pT diagram for material suitability. Ensure proper gasket thickness, flange condition, and bolting techniques, and avoid reusing gaskets.
Installation Instructions
Ensure correct gasket dimensions and clean flange surfaces. Use minimal gasket compounds and follow recommended bolting procedures. Retightening should occur only at ambient temperatures during initial startup.
Technical Data
KLINGER®top-sil-ML1 exhibits high compressibility, recovery, and stress relaxation, maintaining tightness under various conditions with documented leak rates and thickness changes.
Overview
The material offers extended service life and flexibility at higher temperatures, suitable for use with oils, water, steam, gases, and more, including in the food industry.
Specifications
  • Dimensions: Standard sheet sizes are 1000 x 1500 mm and 2000 x 1500 mm, with thicknesses from 0.8 mm to 3.0 mm. Tolerances include a thickness variation of ±10% and length and width variations of ±50 mm.
  • Surfaces: Typically have low adhesion surfaces, with graphite facings available on request.
Function and Durability
Performance and service life depend on proper storage and fitting. The manufacturer assures excellent quality and advises following installation instructions.
Tests and Approvals
The product is preparing for approvals from BAM, DIN-DVGW, KTW, WRC, and TA-Luft, meeting BS 7531: Grade X requirements and certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2000.

9. Re-use For safety reasons never re-use a gasket. 8. Retightening Provided that the above guidelines are followed retightening of the gasket after joint assembly should not be necessary. If retightening is considerednecessary, then this should only be performed at ambient temperature before or during the first start-up phase of the pipeline or plant. Retightening of compressed fibre gaskets at higher operating tem- peratures and longer operating times may lead to a failure of the gasket connection and possible blow out. > 7. Joint Assembly It is recommended that the bolts are tightened using...
