Gb | The gasket stress at Tp = 1 when loading the gasket. It indicates the initial gasket stress required to seat the gasket with tightness. |
---|---|
"a" | The slope obtained by linear regression. It indicates the capacity of the gasket to ensure tightness. |
Gs | The gasket stress at Tp = 1 when unloading the gasket. It indicates the capacity of the gasket to maintain tightness when pressure is applied, as well as the gasket's sensitivity to unloading. |
Tp | The Tightness Parameter is dimensionless. A value of 1 corresponds to a Helium leak rate of 1 mg/s under atmospheric pressure for a gasket with an outside diameter of 150 mm. Note: the greater the Tp, the greater the gasket tightness. |
Tpmax | The maximum tightness obtained when loading the gasket. |
Tpmin | The minimum tightness obtained when unloading the gasket. |
