　　Gasket failure occurs when the steam medium is allowed to leak above the acceptable level as measured by the end user and is not able to be corrected by tightening the joint further. The failure can be attributed to many factors including but not limited to:

　　Improper Gasket Thickness

　　Improper Gasket Material

　　Incorrect Gasket Preload

　　Uneven Gasket Load

　　Improper Bolted Joint Assembly

　　Improper Gasket Dimensions

　　Oxidation

　　Post Vulcanization
