BLUE-GARD' CP-3800/3920

Styies 3000 to 3700 Benefits

Excellent compressiblilty
Benefits • Premium-grade gasketing materials offer compress-
ibility up to 30%
Excellent sealability • Low torque requirements ensure tight seal in cast
• Unique blend of aramid fibers, fillers and elasto- iron or other soft metallic flanges—as found in pipe-
meric binders provides improved torque retention lines, valves, filters, strainers and pump casings
and drastically lowered emissions levéis
Temperature and chemical resistance
Versatile • Combination of aramid fibers, high-temperature
• Variety of elastomers excel in a wide range of ser- fillers and tough elastomeric matrix perform well in
vices a wide range of difficult applications

Cost savings
• Cuts operational costs through reduced:
• Waste • Fluid loss Styies 2900,2910,
2950
• Maintenance • Energy consumption
• Stocked inventory

Benefits
Ideal for utility services
• Excellent sealability
• Improved thermal stability
• Good for general service

ASTI^ Fuel A (isooctane): • For optimal performance, use thinner gaskets when possible.
Gasket load = 500 psi (3.5 N/mm=^), • Mínimum recommended assembly stress = 4,800 psi.
Interna! pressure = 9.8 psig (0.7 bar) • Preferred assembly stress = 6,000 psi to 10,000 psi.
Nitrogen: • Retorque the bolts/studs prior to pressurizing the assembly
Gasket load = 3000 psi (20.7 N/mm^), Never retorque a pressurized assembly.
Interna! pressure = 30 psig (2 bar) • If the service is superheated steam, contact Applications Engineering.
