2. Gasket - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasket

   Internal pressure acts upon the faces of the V, forcing the gasket to seal against the flange faces. Most spiral wound gasket applications will use two standard gasket thicknesses: 1/8 inch and 3/16 inch. With 1/8 inch thick gaskets, compression to a 0.100 inch thickness is recommended. For 3/16 inches, compress to a 0.13 inch thickness.

3. Seal (mechanical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_(mechanical)

   The effectiveness of a seal is dependent on adhesion in the case of sealants and compression in the case of gaskets. The seals are installed in pumps in a wide range of industries including chemicals, water supply, paper production, food processing and many other applications. [1] A stationary seal may also be referred to as a 'packing'. Seal ...

4. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

   Non-metallic gaskets are used with flat- or raised-face flanges. Spiral-wound gaskets are used with raised-face flanges, and ring-joint gaskets are used with ring-type joint (RTJ) flanges. Stress develops between an RTJ gasket and the flange groove when the gasket is bolted to a flange, leading to plastic deformation of the gasket. [4]

5. Gasket (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasket_(disambiguation)

   A gasket (correct terminology is a "joint" made from "jointing material") is a mechanical seal that fills the space between two mating surfaces. Gasket may also refer to: Flange gasket, a type of gasket made to fit between two sections of pipe; Head gasket, a gasket used in internal combustion engines

6. Oakum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oakum

   Oakum was at one time recycled from old tarry ropes and cordage, which were painstakingly unravelled and reduced to fibre, termed "picking". The task of picking and preparation was a common occupation in prisons and workhouses, [1] where the young or the old and infirm were put to work picking oakum if they were unsuited for heavier labour ...
