Gasket Guide: Spiral-Wound, Sheet & Metal Gaskets for Flanges

Gasket Guide: Spiral-Wound, Sheet & Metal Gaskets for Flanges

Short answer: A gasket seals the gap between two flanges so fluid stays contained. Spiral-wound gaskets handle high temperature and pressure, sheet gaskets are the low-cost general choice, and metal-ring joints take the highest pressures. Selection is driven by temperature, pressure and the fluid.
