It is recommended the profile should be compressed between 0-0%. Should the profile have two cavities then this value should be applied to each cavity. See diagram below: The compression set of sponge rubber profile. An essential for the application of sealing is the enduring deformation. The most common characteristic is the compression set (DVR) ASTM D9.To determine this value, a cylindrical test body is compressed by -% and then stored for a predetermined time at a specific temperature. Thirty minutes after release, the height is measured at room temperature again, and from the result, the enduring deformation can be identified. A DVR of 0 would indicate that the test body has reached its original height (unlikely in reality), a DVR of 00% shows that the test body has no recovery and would remain completely deformed. Why is the compression set an important factor when choosing a suitable seal? A flange gasket is compressed to a specified thickness and exerts a pressure on the surface of the flange. After a while this pressure reduces because the rubber deforms and takes a set If the DVR is too high, the elasticity performance and the sealing effect decrease and the seal may cease to function.

However, the use of a steel carrier will have a higher clamping effect than a wire carrier and is advised where there is high vibration applications. The disadvantage of a profile with an unbroken steel carrier is a restricted bending radius. This can be solved by breaking the connecting sprags. However, an uneven surface may develop if this is done. In most technical applications the aesthetics will be irrelevant. Steel / Wire carrier The choice of either a steel or wire carrier largely depends on the application situation, and the desired appearance.
