P-T, Fluid Resistance, pH Range Page 7
Material pH Range

Durlon 8400 2 - 13
Durlon 8500, 8600 & 8700 3 - 11
Durlon 9000/9000N, 9200W, 9400 & 9600 0 - 14
Durlon Flexible Graphite & CFG 0 - 14
This pH range of serviceability is a guide and must always be used in conjunction with the chemical
resistance chart. For example, Durlon 9000 is serviceable from pH 0 to 14 (the entire range) yet we do not
recommend it for hydrofluoric acid.
Torque Loss
Torque loss is inherent in any bolted joint. The combined effects of bolt relaxation, (approximately 10%
during the first 24 hours after installation), gasket creep, vibration in the system, thermal expansion and
elastic interaction during bolt tightening contribute to torque loss. When torque loss reaches an extreme, the
internal pressure exceeds the compressive force holding the gasket in place and a leak or blow-out occurs.
A key to reducing these effects is proper gasket installation. By bringing the flanges together slowly and
parallel when installing a gasket and taking a minimum of four bolt tightening passes, following the correct
bolt tightening sequence, there is a payoff in reduced maintenance costs and increased safety. Proper
gasket installation technique is covered in the Gasket Materials catalog.
Proper gasket thickness is also important. The thicker the gasket, the higher the gasket creep which in turn
can result in torque loss. On standard ANSI raised face flanges a 1/16" thick gasket is normally
recommended. Thinner gasket materials can take a higher gasket load and therefore higher internal
pressures
Even when the installation is ideal, where the bolt stress is uniformly applied to each bolt, and the gasket is
properly compressed, problems can still arise. Inherently with time, loosening will occur due to the factors
already mentioned. If other factors such as cycling, thermal upsets, water hammer or just a piping system
with inadequate pipe supports are present, periodic retorquing might be necessary.
DURLON Technical Handbook May 2003
Gasket Installation Page 9
For problem areas, high temperature applications or where there is temperature cycling, or where a flange
cannot be retorqued, conical spring washers have been found to be very helpful as an aid to torque retention.
They act as a spring and help lessen the effects of torque loss.
Other factors affecting torque loss include:
Rate of heat up.
New vs. used bolts or studs
Use of hardened steel washers
Lubrication of bolts, nuts and nut facings
Method of bolt up. Order of efficiency from least to greatest:
1. Wrench and cheater bar or sledge hammer
2. Air impact gun
3. Torque wrench
4. Hydraulic torque wrench
5. Hydraulic stud tensioners
Finally, having the torque information for the gasket material is helpful as well. Please refer to the torque
data that follows.
Gasket Installation
The importance of proper gasket installation cannot be stressed enough. The following is a basic explanation
of how to properly bring the flanges together parallel and in stages, once the gasket is in place to properly
compress the gasket. As a minimum, four passes are required. Using the right torque value for the lubricant
being used to get the proper gasket compression is important as well.
In the torque tables that follow for Durlon gasket materials, it is assumed the flanges are in good condition,
anti-seize has not been used on any gasket contact surfaces and a proper installation technique such as
what is outlined below is used. Never use any sheet gasket material as insulating washers in flange
insulation kits.

This information is a general guide for the selection of a suitable gasket material. The substances listed above are
evaluated for their effect on the gasket materials at ambient temperature (-40F to 100F, or -40C to 38C) unless
stated otherwise. For unusual conditions of fluid concentrates, internal pressures or temperature consult your
representative. This evaluation is based on laboratory or field tests, or experience; however, no guarantee can be
given as to the actual performance experienced by the end user.
There are several fluids used in food which can be sealed by SBR, however due to flavor pickup, we have used C
caution on these products.
This Chemical Resistance Chart supersedes and obsoletes all previously issued charts.
