Abstract
Abstract Flexible graphite-based gaskets are used extensively in high-temperature applications as a replacement of asbestos based gaskets. The effect of aging and temperature exposure of flexible graphite sheet gaskets was the subject of a previous work [1,2], however, the effect when flexible graphite is in a confined gasket configuration is not known. This study outlines the performance evaluation of the elevated temperature behavior of flexible graphite-based gaskets under a confined configuration and exposed over a long period employing HALR (High temperature Aged Leakage Relaxation) fixture. This ARLA-like fixture can retain the mechanical feature of the ATRS/HATR while allowing the cold leakage rate and weight loss measurement. Four different confined gasket configurations, namely corrugated metal, spiral wound, kammprofile and double jacketed, are evaluated within a temperature range of (427 to 649 °C) 800 to 1200 °F and exposure time of 2500 hours. Graphite weight loss, gasket thickness change, leakage and tightness parameter, creep and relaxation measurements were taken at regular intervals for each gasket style. To better understand the aging process, these critical mechanical and leakage properties are scrutinized; the degradation process related to mainly graphite oxidation is further discussed, and a conclusion is drawn.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
