DISCRIPTION
Gaskets (CAF, Metallic, Rubber) are sealing components engineered to create a barrier between two mating surfaces and help prevent leakage of compatible fluids or gases. Different gasket materials provide different performance characteristics according to operating temperature, pressure, chemical exposure, and equipment requirements.
Metallic Gaskets are commonly selected for demanding pressure and temperature applications, while Rubber Gaskets can provide flexible sealing for suitable lower-temperature and fluid handling applications. CAF gaskets are legacy asbestos-containing sealing materials and are subject to strict health and regulatory requirements; modern non-asbestos compressed fibre alternatives are generally preferred where suitable. Correct gasket selection should always be based on the equipment specification, operating conditions, and applicable standards.
