a) Direct contact
b) Indirect contact
2. Flow arrangement
a) Parallel Flow
b) Counter Flow
c) Cross flow

groove and fastening function
Gasket material
The choice of rubber material depends on
Fluids - chemical attack or not
The combination of temperature and pressure
Rubber materials change properties due to
Time - the rubber relaxes
Temperature - the rubber deteriorates
Hardening by attack of oxidising agents (e.g.,
oxygen in air)
Swelling or softening by absorption of
chemicals in the fluids
Gasket material
Commonly used gasket materials:
1. Natural rubber
2. Styrene-butadiene-SBR
3. Nitrile
4. Butyl
5. Ethylene propelene rubber
6. Flourinated rubber
7. Compressed asbestos fibre
