Gaskets are essential components used to create leak-tight seals between flanges, valves, pumps, and other pipeline or pressure vessel connections. Designed to prevent fluid or gas leakage under varying pressures and temperatures, they maintain system integrity, reduce maintenance needs, and ensure safe operation. Gaskets are widely used in oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, water treatment, and general industrial applications.
