Gaskets prevent leakage and make the process smoother
Leakage is one of the most commonly faced problems that cause disturbance in the working of machines, it occurs when the liquid enclosed in the machine starts escaping into the outer environment. It generally occurs from the joining point of two surfaces or the rotating surfaces like a shaft, rotors, agitators, etc. Leakage often results in the loss of products and it may also cause harm to the people working around the machines. Therefore, it is very important to prevent this problem and avoid its consequences. There are some industries like petroleum, chemical, biotechnological, pharmaceutical, where the fluids are toxic chemicals and they are not supposed to be released into the outside environment. A mechanical seal is a device used for preventing this problem as it allows the joining surfaces to rotate and function normally without letting the fluids leaked. In some cases, when the joining surfaces are rough and have some irregularities, seals are replaced by gaskets. They are des
