A gasket (correct terminology is a joint made from jointing material) is a mechanical seal which fills the space between two or more mating surfaces, generally to prevent leakage from or into the joined objects while under compression. It is usually desirable that the gasket be made from a material that is to some degree yielding such that it is able to deform and tightly fills the space it is designed for, including any slight irregularities. A few gaskets require an application of sealant directly to the gasket surface to function properly. Rubber seal materials are normally chosen on the basis of chemical compatibility with the fluid being transferred, but even if seal and fluid are chemically compatible, they can still interact physically, leading to leakage. Fluid sealing technology is based on principles as diverse as lubrication, friction, wear, properties of materials, mechanical design, fluid mechanics and heat transfer. All of these factors are to be considered and studied in depth in designing different types of rubber seals, seal materials and sealing applications. Uses and Applications It is mainly used between the pipe line to make leak proof alignment or joint. It is also widely used in automobiles. Fluid Restriction, Weather Insulation, Vibration Dampening, Electrical Absorption, Noise Reduction, Packaging and Cushioning. Market Survey Rebounds in construction expenditures and motor vehicle production, as well as positive outlooks for capital spending and machinery production, will benefit gasket and seal manufacturers. Increased use of better performing gaskets and seals made from advanced materials, which offer improved lifespans over traditional sealing materials, will also stimulate dollar growth. However, in the longer term this will have a mixed effect on the market, as initial value gains will be somewhat offset by decreased aftermarket sales opportunities. Among all gasket and sealing products, compression packings, body seals and expanded graphite gaskets will register the strongest growth through 2016. However, because of their much larger shares of overall demand, the motor vehicle and machinery industries will record much stronger increases in dollar terms. A rebound in motor vehicle production and a rise in the number of motor vehicles in use will fuel sales of related gasket and sealing products. In addition, the growing use of better performing, higher-priced gaskets and seals will further drive value gains. Increases in machinery gasket and seal demand will be supported by the existence of a large aftermarket, reflecting the harsh conditions that many machinery products operate in, and an increase in machinery outputs as capital expenditures rise.
