1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers requirements for the fluorocarbon terpolymer elastomer used in the manufacture of expansion joints for use in coal-fired utilities and other high
temperature industrial applications in which corrosive flue
gases are present.
3. Ordering Information
3.1 The seller shall mention this specification number in all
quotations and when acknowledging purchase order.
4.2 As-received virgin fluroelastomer sampled in accordance with Section 6 shall be fully press-cured, typically for 20
min at 150C (302F), but not post-cured. Other time/
temperature conditions are acceptable providing they produce
vulcanizates that meet the property requirements.

7.2 Preproduction TestsTests for all technical requirements are preproduction tests and shall be performed initially
and just prior to shipment of the expansion joints to the buyer,
or when a change of ingredients or processing or both requires
reapproval or when the buyer deems confirmatory testing is
required.
8. Inspection
8.1 The seller of the expansion joints shall be responsible
for preparation of all batch test samples, conducting all the
required specification tests, and providing the test data. The
buyer reserves the right to obtain additional batch samples and
perform all confirmatory testing necessary to ensure the
product conforms to the full requirements of this specification.
9. Certification
ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentioned
in this standard. Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any such patent rights, and the risk
of infringement of such rights, are entirely their own responsibility.
This standard is subject to revision at any time by the responsible technical committee and must be reviewed every five years and
if not revised, either reapproved or withdrawn. Your comments are invited either for revision of this standard or for additional standards
and should be addressed to ASTM International Headquarters. Your comments will receive careful consideration at a meeting of the
responsible technical committee, which you may attend. If you feel that your comments have not received a fair hearing you should
