Types of gaskets. Non-Metallic gaskets are usually composite sheet materials are used with flat-face and raised-face flanges in low Pressure Class applications. Non-metallic gaskets are manufactured from arimid fiber, glass fiber, elastomer, TeflonÂ® (PTFE), graphite etc.. Full-face gasket types are suitable for use with flat-face flanges. Flat-ring gasket types are suitable for use with raised face flanges. ASME B16.21 covers types, sizes, materials, dimensions, dimensional tolerances, and markings for non-metallic flat gaskets.
Rubber gaskets used in plumbing are sometimes called washers. Different types of washers have different uses. Star washers are helpful when the material is soft enough to allow the washer to adhere. Flat washers are used to disburse the compression of the nut or bolt smoothly. This lessens the possibility of damage and offers a flat space for the nut or bolt to stay, meaning it will be more likely to stay in one place.
