Dear all,

This may have been a repeat question.

can anyone pls tell me what are m and y values for the food grade EPDM gasket?

is the tensile strength value mentioned in most of supplier's advertisement helpful?

Has there been a study by gasket manufacturer's such as Garlock etc. to evaluate m and y values for the EPDM material?

Please help.
Regards

A lot of manufacturers have determined the m and y values for us. Contact them and ask them specifically for the m and y values. Otherwise you might end up with minimum and maximum gasket pressure and information like that.
Also be aware of the shape of the EPDM gasket and the actual contact surface that will occur using this gasket.

Sorry, I can't help you with that. You need to contact the supplier that will deliver your gasket.
