A gasket is referred to the mechanical seal which is used for filling the space between two objects, more commonly for avoiding the leakages between 2 objects while under compression. It help in saving time by facilitating use of less precise matting surfaces to be used on the machine parts, which can used gaskets for avoiding any irregularities. More popularly, gaskets are produced by cutting it from sheet materials like rubber, silicone, metal, cork etc. For special usage it consists of the asbestos.

Gaskets can be used for various commercial and industrial purposes like aerospace and aeronautics, automotive, electronics, military and transportation industries. Some specific applications include: airframes, appliances, business machines, compressors, elevators, escalators, medical equipment, meters, turbines and valves.

Gaskets Classification on the basis of industrial designs

a.) Sheet Gaskets - These gaskets are used for meeting many chemical requirements based on the inertness of the material used and is price reasonable.

b.) Solid Metal Gaskets - These gaskets generally have a much higher level of quality control than sheet gaskets and generally can withstand much higher temperatures and pressures.

c.) Spiral Wound Gaskets - These gaskets utilizes a mix of metallic material and "filler material". Although expensive than sheet metal gaskets, these gaskets have proved their reliability in many industrial applications.
