Best Answer

gasket is a thin round materials between 2 faces or falanges and so on

espicialy for sealing between pipes and pumps and etc.

made from a material that is to some degree yielding such that it is able to deform and tightly fills the space it is designed for, including any slight irregularities. A few gaskets require an application of sealant directly to the gasket surface to function properly.
