As an example, a gasket that is used in a car engine may be shaped differently than a gasket that is used in a water pipe.

Pros and Cons of Gaskets & O Rings in Mechanical Engineering

There are several useful aspects of Gaskets and O rings that makes them to be used as a core component in some machines. They make machines perform better and, in some cases, help extend their working lives. By closing off crevices, they can prevent leaking, prevent rusting and reduce noise and vibrations that might occur whenever the machine operates. But there’s also a downside to using them.

Gaskets: If gaskets are not placed properly, or not maintained properly, they are susceptible to leaking. They can break down quickly under very high temperature conditions or extreme pressures.
