ISO 16589 describes seals utilizing sealing elements manufactured from suitably formulated compounds, based on thermoplastic materials, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
NOTE ISO 16589 is complementary to ISO 6194 which covers elastomeric seals.
This part of ISO 16589 gives users guidance on the careful storage, handling and proper installation of the seals. Attention is drawn to the hazards involved and to ways of avoiding them.
