INTRODUCTION
Flat
gaskets
for
industry
in
the
modern
sense
were
invented
by
Austrian
engineer
Richard
Klinger
about
100
years
ago,
based
on
asbestos
and
rubber.
Due
to
their
success,
these
first
products
attracted
numerous
imitators,
and
soon
many
materials
of
various
qualities
were
available.
It
quickly
became
necessary
to
be
able
to
evaluate
these
materials.
The
chosen
method
at
that
time,
because
nothing
better
was
available,
was
the
determination
of
tensile
strength,
which
today
is
of
only
limited
importance
(see
later).
The
number
of
different
sealing
types
was
considerably
increased
with
the
development
of
asbestos-free
gaskets.
A
summary
tabulation
of
them
is
found
in
Chapter
3,
"Industrial
Gaskets."
Because
of
the
confusion
created
by
such
a
large
number
of
offerings,
industry
wanted
a
universal
gasket
suitable
for
all
applications.
Such
gaskets
do
not
and
cannot
exist.
This
goal
can
only
approximately
be
approached
by
increas-
ing
the
application
ranges
of
gasket
materials.
