ISO 16589-5:2011
Scope
ISO 16589 specifies seals utilizing sealing elements manufactured from suitably formulated compounds based
on thermoplastic materials, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). They are considered suitable for use
under low pressure conditions.
This part of ISO 16589 defines and classifies typical surface imperfections that could impair the function of the
seals, and is intended as a convenience for purchasers and manufacturers in their discussions concerning the
importance of these imperfections in different applications.
NOTE ISO 16589 is complementary to ISO 6194, which covers seals incorporating elastomeric sealing elements.
