Abstract

A gasket and method of forming a seal between opposite surfaces of a pair of bodies. The gasket has a body with one portion having a plurality of perforations adapted for receipt between the opposite surfaces. The method of forming the seal includes disposing the portion of the body with the perforations between the opposite surfaces and fastening the pair of bodies to one another to compress the perforate portion of the body therebetween.

a body having one portion adapted to be compressed between the opposite surfaces of the pair of bodies, said one portion comprising a layer of wire mesh defining a network of uniformly spaced perforations adjacent one another and having an outer coating of elastomeric material encapsulating said wire mesh and not closing said perforations and having a plurality of fastener openings distinct from said perforations.

2. The gasket of claim 1 wherein said perforations are substantially the same size and shape.

3. The gasket of claim 1 wherein said body defines at least one open region radially inwardly from said one portion, said at least one open region being sized to conform with said at least one passage.
