Gaskets and Packing

Most industrial facilities rely on fluid systems made up of piping, valves, pumps, and other components that contain and control fluids. Within these systems are numerous joints and connections which have the potential to leak fluid. Such leaks can be prevented or minimized through the use of compressible materials such as gaskets and packing. This course describes different types of gaskets and packing as well as methods of installation.
