Gaskets are used to create a static seal between two stationary
members of a mechanical assembly and to maintain that seal
under operating conditions which may vary dependent upon
changes in pressures and temperatures.
Does Two flanges seal without gasket?
If Yes then Why?
If No then Why not?

On 24th May 2004, A Hydrogen Fire took place due to the
Installation of an Incorrectly Sized Gasket at a Solvent
Manufacturing Plant
On 10th January 2000, approximately 100 barrels of jet fuel
were discharged from Plantation Pipeline in Newington,
Virginia, resulted from a failed gasket on an interface
detector
On 22nd February 2003, approximately 788 barrels of
gasoline were discharged from a portion of Plantation
Pipeline in Hull, Georgia, resulted from a failed gasket on a
buried block valve.
On 15th December 2004, Employees were performing
maintenance on a propane pipeline near Mantador, North
Dakota, when a gasket on the pipeline's valve failed, causing
a leak. Nearby resident were evacuated, and a rail line was
shut down temporarily. There were no injuries
