The Bundesamt für Materialprüfung (BAM), the German Federal Institute for Materials Testing, is the body that certifies materials for use in oxygen service.
BAM tests include various procedures to evaluate material behavior in contact with pure oxygen, assessing their reactions under different temperature and pressure conditions.
The certifications issued by BAM are valid exclusively for the specific usage conditions indicated, including maximum oxygen temperature and pressure.
The BAM-approved product range for oxygen service includes packings, stem seals, seat seals, and flange gaskets, enabling valves and flanges to achieve leak-tightness in full compliance with current regulations.
The BAM-approved product range includes:
-
