Engineering Material Specification
Materiel Name
Specification Number
GASKET, ASBESTOS/NITRILE RUBBER
ESF-M8G55-A
1. SCOPE
The material defined by this specification is a sheet of asbestos fiber and nitrile rubber, highly compressed to produce maximum density and relatively impervious structure.
2. APPLICATION
This specification was released originally for material used where resistance to high temper
ature and fuel is required, and where good recovery characteristics from swelling due to temperature and fuel is desired, i.e., gasket for the carburetor power valve.
2. ,REQUIREMENTS
All tests and conditioning shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM F 104, Type 1, class 1, unless otherwise specified.
