How do I obtain Leachable Levels (chemical) for gaskets?

A…Some pipe specifications call out maximum levels of "leachables" for gaskets. These limits are usually concerned with leachable chlorides, fluorides, halogens and sulfur. These ions, or charged particles, are of concern due to their tendency to promote corrosion of piping systems. Garlock keeps test results for numerous gasket styles on file and we will test and certify leachable chlorides, etc., where required. There is a charge for these tests. Due to the nature of this type of analysis, we publish "typical" leachables only on certain styles such as our nuclear grade Style 9920.
