Composition and Mechanical Properties

SF 3300 is an aramid and inorganic fibre sheet bound with NBR nitrile, described in its revised 2024 data sheet as an asbestos-free structure suitable for demanding general-purpose services. Technical sheet PDS101 Rev6 specifies non-concurrent maximums of 440°C and 140 bar, a density of 1.52 g/cm³ at 1.5 mm, compressibility of 12%, and recovery of 63%. The manufacturer confirms BS 7531 Grade X compliance and notes WRAS approval, the validity of which should be verified.

Sheet Applications

The manufacturer identifies low- and medium-pressure steam, oils, fuels, solvents, and mild chemicals, subject to process-specific operating conditions. A variant featuring a dual-sided anti-stick coating is also available. Gasket thickness and bolt load requirements must be engineered and evaluated for actual operating conditions.

Material Selection and Cross-Referencing

For potable water applications, obtain verification of certification applicable to the specific grade, validity period, and operating temperature. Compare against alternative NBR aramid grades without assuming identical torque retention capabilities. Stated maximum pressures and temperatures are not inherently concurrent, particularly during thermal cycling.

Materials for comparison: Durlon 8500 and Garlock BLUE-GARD 3000. These cross-references do not validate direct drop-in substitution.
