Sheet Composition and Properties

Cellulose and natural rubber (NR) distinguish this grade from sheets formulated solely with a nitrile (NBR) binder. Historical technical data indicate 180°C and 70 bar as independent maximum limits, with a compressibility of 12%.

Documented Industrial Applications

SF 1630 is Flexitallic’s light-utility sheet, primarily recommended for hydrostatic testing, water service, and mild chemicals. The manufacturer explicitly rates it as a non-critical, low-temperature solution. The 180°C temperature and 70 bar pressure ratings represent independent maximums and must not be interpreted as a combined continuous operating limit.

Replacement Selection and Precautions

Do not confuse a temporary hydrotesting gasket with a high-temperature steam gasket. Always evaluate bolt load requirements and flange stress limits prior to any substitution. Inspect flanges, cut gasket specifications, thickness, sealing face finish, and project documentation requirements.

Cross-reference candidates to evaluate: Durlon 7900 and Garlock Utility Grade 2900. Technical equivalency must be verified.
