Some Observations Relative To The Micro Sealing Performance Of Elastmeric Coated Steel Construction Cylinder Head Gaskets

This paper describes the chronological change of sealing performance of elastomeric material, through the experimental research work of sealing under dynamic vibrating condition of a single piece gasket, and through the performance of the combination of several gasket constructions and properties of the elastomeric materials. The said test method clarifies, in particular, the great influence of the thickness of coated elastomeric to the dynamic sealing performance associated with the levels of initial stresses and of vibration amplitudes.
