Gasket

Gaskets function as static seals to hold liquids, solids and gases on various types of engines, vessels and piping systems. Various types of gasket materials used in industries vary, adjusting to operating conditions (pressure, temperature) and material characteristics who is in direct contact with the gasket. So that the gasket base material will be adjusted to the level of needs. For example, the gasket material for piping in the water flowing pipeline will certainly be different from the gasket material used for the connection between the cylinder block and the cylinder head. The basic ingredients for making gaskets are three types, namely metal, non-metal and semimetal. Metal-based gaskets are usually made of aluminum, brass and copper. Non-metal based gaskets made of asbestos, rubber, paper, flax, leather, cork or ceramic. For semi-metal material gaskets are a combination of metal and non-metal materials.
