IS 2712 : 2024 Gaskets and Packings - Compressed Asbestos Fibre Jointing - Specification
1 SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers the general requirements and tests for compressed asbestos fibre jointing sheets, suitable for use with water, steam, oils, acids, alkalies, and other chemicals.
1.2 This standard does not cover reinforced compressed asbestos fibre jointing sheets because the effects of the wire gauze reinforcement may nullify the results of tests to assess the properties of the materials. The same materials may, however, be supplied with wire gauze reinforcement by an arrangement between the purchaser and the manufacturer, for such applications where a reinforced jointing sheet is required.
