This SAE Recommended Practice is intended as a guide in the usage of mechanical face seals for the passenger car air-conditioning compressor application. Included in this guide is a compilation of present practices; for example, a description of various type seals, material combinations, design data, tolerances, drawing format, qualification testing, inspection information and quality control data. The terminology used is recommended to promote uniformity in seal nomenclature.

This Recommended Practice incorporates methane analysis instrumentation only.

The classification system provides a means for specifying or describing pertinent properties of commercial nonmetallic gasket materials. Materials composed of asbestos, cork cellulose, and other organic or inorganic materials in combination with various binders or impregnants are included. Materials normally classified as rubber compounds are not included, since they are covered in SAE J200 - ASTM D 2000. Gasket coatings are not covered, since details thereof are intended to be given on engineering drawings or in separate specifications.
