This test method enables a relative comparison of the predisposition of a spiral wound gasket to inward buckling. The relative resistance to inward buckling of a spiral wound gasket thereby can be determined. This procedure may be used by supplier and user to establish an acceptance/rejection criteria for spiral wound gaskets, when desired.© 2002, 9 pages.
