A gasket is a material that is used to seal the face of flanges, valves and equipment. Gaskets can be made from materials that are soft or hard, but will compress to make a tight seal. When compressed between two flange faces it will deform to match the surface grooves and irregularities. A gasket must be installed properly to prevent leakage. The surface of the flange must be clear of all foreign bodies such as dust, dirt or grease that could prevent a proper seal. To ensure a seal through out the life of the gasket, sufficient pressure or stress should be maintained to prevent leakage. It is very important to select the right gasket material to be used.
