Gaskets and Packing Sectional Committee, MED 30

FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Gaskets and Packing Sectional Committee had been approved by the Mechanical Engineering Division
Council.

This standard was first published in 1981 and subsequently revised in 1992.

In this revision, the standard has been brought into the latest style and format of Indian Standards, and references
of Indian Standards, wherever applicable have been updated. BIS certification marking clause has been modified
to align with the revised Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016. In this revision, the following major modifications
have been incorporated:
a) Application has been added;
b) Terminologies have been added;
c) Safety requirement for asbestos have been added; and
d) Load for compressibility test is modified.

The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex E.

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2 : 2022 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (second revision)’. The number of significant places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
