GASKET

A gasket is a type of seal used to fill the space between two or more parts to prevent leakage under compression. 

Gaskets are commonly used in various industries, including:

A. Types of Gaskets

1. Spiral Wound Gaskets: Made from metal and filler material, wound into a spiral shape.

2. Sheet Gaskets: Cut from a sheet of material, often used for low-pressure applications.

3. Rubber Gaskets: Made from rubber or elastomeric materials, often used for dynamic sealing.

4. Metal-to-Metal Gaskets: Made from metal, often used for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

5. Graphite Gaskets: Made from graphite, often used for high-temperature applications.

B. Applications

1. Piping Systems: Gaskets are used to seal flanges and other connections.

2. Valves: Gaskets are used to seal valve bonnets and other components.

3. Pumps: Gaskets are used to seal pump components and prevent leakage.

C. Benefits

1. Leak Prevention: Gaskets prevent fluid leakage and ensure system integrity.

2. Pressure Resistance: Gaskets can withstand various pressure ranges.

3. Temperature Resistance: Gaskets can withstand various temperature ranges.

Gaskets play a crucial role in maintaining system integrity and preventing leakage.
