Friction coefficient µG
The friction coefficient between gasket and flange surface was determined for different types of gasket materials in an ESA research project.
The gasket Flachdichtung UNIFLUOR® PTFE mit Füllstoff Bariumsulfat, Profil FD01, WS 7553, Dichtungsdicke 3 mm, Rev. 00 can be assigned to the categorie 2 : "Gaskets based on filled PTFE". Therefore, the following friction coefficients can be considered:
