REVISED
Attached is the current M and Y data we have available on selected gasket products. The data is
presented in English and International System (metric) units. All standard results were obtained
using ASTM F586 as a guide with a leak rate of .005 cc/minute for the Y values (8.5E-4
cc/min/OD inch), a leak rate of .5 cc/minute for the M values (8.5E-2 cc/min/OD inch),
Nitrogen gas as the media, and a 1/2 wide ring gasket. Compared to the M and Y values for
liquid service, these values are higher and, therefore, more conservative.
Liquid values were added in 2002. These tests were conducted with water with an additive that
glows under black light. Gaskets were considered sealed if no leakage was visible.
M and Y data is to be used for flange design only as specified in the ASME Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Code Division 1, Section VIII, Appendix 2. It is not meant to be used as a gasket seating
stress value in actual service. Our bolt torque tables give that information and should be used as
such.
If there are any questions please contact Applications Engineering.

NOTES:
NOTE (1): These values were derived from testing with Nitrogen. Unless a bubble-free seal is required, field
experience has shown that flanges designed with an M value of 6.0 have produced satisfactory results.
NOTE (2): ASTM F-586 test method is not valid for elastomeric gaskets. These values are from ASME Boiler &
Pressure Vessel Code Division 1, Section VIII, Appendix 2.
NOTE (3): Garlock Applications Engineering has historically recommended a suggested Y value of 100 psi (0.7
N/mm2) (.07 kgf/mm2) for these elastomers.
NOTE (4): Actual tests showed 3.7 and 1200 psi. These are considered too low for effective flange design.
NOTE (5): Actual tests showed 3.6 and 1150 psi. These are considered too low for effective flange design.
NOTE (6): Since the primary intended service for this style would be oil and water, liquid M&Y values are more
appropriate.
NOTE (7) : This is the actual test value but is considered too low for flange design. Garlock recommends using
y=4000 psi for ASME calculations.
