The seal is installed with a lubricant adhesive and is designed to seal the joint and reject incompressibles.

Note 1 - This specification may not be applicable for seals whose height is less than 90 % of its nominal width.

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are provided for information only.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use.
