1) σVU = Minimum installed pressure (adaption) at room temperature (RT)

2) σVO = Maximum installed pressure at RT

3) m = Ratio of "Minimum gasket pressure under operating conditions σBU " to "Operating pressure = Internal pressure pi ", thus: m = σBU/pi

4) σBO = Maximum gasket pressure under operating conditions at various temperatures

5) bD = Effective sealing width in mm

6) Rz 16 µm

7) Rz 25 µm
