- The design of a rubber flange gasket is simple yet effective. It's a flat, circular disc with an internal diameter that matches the outside diameter of the pipe or fitting it will seal. The thickness and the shape of the gasket can vary, with common profiles including full face, ring type, and tongue and groove. The flexibility and compressibility of rubber allow the gasket to conform to the surface irregularities of the flanges, creating a tight seal even under fluctuating pressures.
Installing Oil Seals: A Step-by-Step Guide
By first finding out the dimensions of the inner and outer diameters and the height of the bore, you have all the data for the correct size of the oil seal. Of course, the oil seal must also be able to withstand the pressure, temperature and medium it is exposed to within the seal during the manufacturing process. You can read more about this in our oil seal selection guide.

However, rubber-cased seals do have limitations. For example, during installation, shear stresses can build up between the seal and housing wall, causing the seal to release itself.
