ASTM F 2837 - 11 Standard Test Method for Hot Compression Properties of Gasket Materials

Current edition approved April 1, 2011. Published May 2011. Originally approved in 2010. Last previous edition approved in 2010 as F2837 – 10. — 5 p.
This test method covers a means of measuring the hot compression properties of a gasket material by measuring its creep under a constant load at both room temperature and while increasing the temperature. Short term creep properties including both cold and hot creep, total creep and compression set of a gasket material can be determined.
