A gasket is a mechanical seal used to fill the gap between two or more mating surfaces to prevent leakage of fluids or gases under compression. Gaskets are typically made from deformable materials, allowing them to create a tight seal even if the surfaces are not perfectly aligned or smooth.
Common Gasket Materials :
Rubber: Nitrile (NBR), EPDM, silicone — for flexibility and chemical resistance.
Metal: Stainless steel, copper — for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
Cork: Often used in oil-resistant applications like automotive engines.
Paper/Fiber: Used in low-pressure and low-temperature environments.
PTFE (Teflon): Chemically inert, used in corrosive environments.
Graphite: For extreme temperature and pressure conditions.
Composite Materials: A combination of rubber, fiber, or metal for specific applications.
