Gasket Kit

gasket is a mechanical seal that fills the space between twomating surfaces, generally to prevent leakage from or into the joinedobjects while under compression. Gaskets save money by allowing "less-than-perfect"mating surfaces on machine parts which can use a gasket to fillirregularities. Gaskets are commonly produced by cutting from sheetmaterials, such as gasket paper, rubber, silicone, metal, cork,felt, neoprene, nitrile rubber, fiberglass, or a plastic polymer (suchas polychlorotrifluoroethylene). Gaskets for specific applications maycontain asbestos. It is usually desirable that the gasket be made froma material that is to some degree yielding such that it is able todeform and tightly fills the space it is designed for, including anyslight irregularities. A few gaskets require an application of sealantdirectly to the gasket surface to function properly.
