Flat Rubber Gaskets
Flat rubber gaskets are sheet-cut sealing shapes compressed between stationary flanges, covers or equipment faces. The elastomer conforms to surface irregularities and closes leakage paths, while thickness, hardness, reinforcement and bolt loading must suit the joint, fluid and amount of movement.
