Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A gasket comprising a first discrete component and a second discrete component, wherein the first and second components extend along the length of the gasket. The second component is arranged ranged relative to the first component so as to separate the first component at least from one of the two sealing surfaces. The first component is relatively hard in at least the thickness direction of the gasket and preferably incompressible and the second component is relatively soft in at least the thickness direction of the gasket and compressible. When the gasket is compressed between two flanges, there is a limited region of high compression, because the first component increases the pressure by which the second component is compressed between the surfaces of the flanges. This yields a high leak tightness of the sealing at a relatively low force.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A gasket having a thickness between two sealing surfaces and further having a length and a width, the width being at least 1.5 times as large as the thickness, said gasket comprising a first discrete component and a second discrete component, the first and second components extending along the length of the gasket and the second component being arranged relative to the first component so as to separate the first component at least from one of the two sealing…
