Rubber Gasket

Rubber gaskets are the most important class of materials that provide sealing in the medium temperature range (-50 C to +120 C). This is because the rubbers quickly return to their original shape when any deforming stress or load is removed.

 

Many rubbers are available for various operating conditions; But they all have one thing in common - the effect of heat is cumulative and irreversible. Maximum temperatures should not be exceeded and will allow a margin of safety due to a good design life. Many rubbers are available for simple sealing applications. Rubber is the most common gasket material and therefore 'rubber gasket' can mean many different things. These seals include everything from standard pipe seals, to oil seals, to floor seals; and it is available in many different rubbers such as neoprene, EPDM and viton.
