was tested in respect of fire safety. The test was made under the following
| Total bolt load: | 806 kN |
| Burn period: | 30 min |
| Average temperature calorimeters: | > 650 °C |
| Test pressure (absolute): | 40 bar |
| Test medium: | Water |
| Leak rate complete test: | 0.00 mI/(inch – min) |
| Leak rate pressure test: | 0.21 mI/(inch • min) |
After the burn period the connection was air cooled to a flange temperature below 100 °C. During the cool down the connection was still pressurized with the test pressure. Afterwards a pressure test for 5 min was done.
Therefore the gasket is in compliance with the tightness criteria of 1 ml/(inch • min) of API Specification 6FB during burn period, cool-down and pressure test. The gasket manufacturer can mark the gasket as “Fire Safe” in accordance to the specification API Specification 6FB.”
