Research Report F03-1018 presents the results of the Interlaboratory Study 185, which was conducted to establish the precision and bias statement for ASTM F2837, Test Method for Hot Compression Properties of Gasket Materials. The collaborative study included 9 labs that used test method F2837 to measure the hot compression properties of a gasket material by measuring its creep under a constant load at both room temperature and while increasing the temperature. Besides short term creep properties, including both cold and hot creep, total creep and compression set of a gasket material were also measured. The research report presents summary method performance statistics as well as the measurement data used to calculate results for the study.
