ASTM F38-18
Active Standard: Standard Test Methods for Creep Relaxation of a Gasket Material
ASTM F38
Scope
1.1 These test methods provide a means of measuring the amount of creep relaxation of a gasket material at a predetermined time after a compressive stress has been applied.
1.1.1 Test Method A—Creep relaxation measured by means of a calibrated strain gauge on a bolt.
1.1.2 Test Method B—Creep relaxation measured by means of a calibrated bolt with dial indicator.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
