Gaskets defined in this specification are suitable for use as a static seal in union connections in accordance with MIL-F-1183, MIL-F-24227, or similar applications. The gaskets are compatible with the fluid and corresponding temperature range (minimum/maximum) identified in table IV for each type. Where no limitation is provided for a given classification, that type is not recommended for service with the identified fluid. However, selection of any type for a given application is the responsibility of the user and should consider compatibility of all fluids which are or may be introduced into the system. TABLE IV. Recommended gasket application.|

For rejected lots, see 4.4.3. ² Reject number indicates the minimum number of defective units per sample size needed for rejection of the entire inspection lot. Inspect the sample size until the reject number is reached.
