ASTM F 806 - 99a (Reapproved 2017) Standard Test Method for Compressibility and Recovery of Laminated Composite Gasket Materials

Current edition approved May 1, 2017. Published July 2017. Originally approved in 1983. Last previous edition approved in 2009 as F806 – 99a (2009). — 3 p.
This test method covers determination of the short-time compressibility and recovery at room temperature of laminated composite gasket materials.
This test method is not intended as a test for compressibility under prolonged stress application, that is “creep,” or for recovery following such prolonged stress application, the inverse of which is generally referred to as “compression set.” Also, it is only intended for tests at room temperature.
