Garlock Blue-Gard 3700 is a compressed, non-asbestos gasket made from aramid fibers with an EPDM binder. This gasket drastically lowers emissions levels, fluid loss, and energy consumption.
Features and Benefits
Typical Applications
Excellent sealability
Improved torque retention
Drastically lowered emissions levels
Custs operational costs through reduced waste, maintenance, stocked inventory, fluid loss, and energy consumption
Water
Saturated steam*
Inert gases
*This style is not the preferred choice for steam service, but is successful when adequately compressed. Minimum recommended assembly stress = 4,800 psi. Preferred assembly stress = 6,000-10,000 psi. Gasket thickness of 1/16" strongly preferred. Retorque the bolts/studs prior to pressurizing the assembly. For saturated steam above 150psig or superheated steam, consult Garlock Engineering.
