The products used to seal these pipe joints are known as gaskets. A flange gasket is the particular style of gasket utilized to create a seal when two flanged pipe ends are bolted together. The most common use for gaskets is in the services industry, where water pipes need to be sufficiently sealed to prevent water leaks, loss of pressure, or external foreign contaminants entering the pipe.
It is necessary to know the nominal pipe size and the gasket's inner diameter and outside diameter. Applications of Typical Flange Gaskets: HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) Industry: Usually, flange gaskets used in this industry are made of different types of rubber. They are usually supplied with adhesive on one or both sides in various shapes like round (I.D. x O.D.), rectangular and square outside shapes.
