| Since it is usually  not
economical to obtain fluid-tight joints by machining, a gasket is
commonly inserted between the contact faces of a joint. Tightening
the fastening bolts causes the gasket material to flow into the
minor imperfections resulting in a fluid-tight seal. The following
information is intended only as a general overview of the factors
involved in the proper application of a gasket-type seal. The AMG
Application Engineering Department will be pleased to put its decades
of design and production experience to work solving your specific
sealing problems.
The accompanying chart illustrates some of
the common applications of metallic and semi-metallic gaskets.
