A relatively soft sealer often of cork, asbestos, or rubber placed in a joint between two metal parts to prevent leakage through the joint.
Material inserted between contact surfaces of a joint to ensure a fluid-tight seal. Although invariably softer than surfaces with which it is in contact, it should not form a permanent bond. Constructional material is dependent on the temperature, pressure and chemical nature of the confined fluid.
A flat, non-moving, compressible rubber-like device squeezed between two flat sufaces forming a static seal. Gaskets can be made from homogeneous rubber, fabric reinforced rubber, fiberous materials with rubber binders, flexible graphite, PTFE and many other materials. Some gaskets are made from a combination of metal and fiberous materials and some are all metal. An o-ring, while not flat is also referred to as a gasket at times.
