<p>A gasket in which breakage of foaming in a rubber material is eliminated even in a high pressure environment with significant pressure variation such as a compressor employing carbon dioxide gas as refrigerant. In a gasket having a cylindrical metal ring, and a rubber layer covering its inner and outer circumferential surfaces and the inboard end portion continuously, the corner at the inboard end portion of the metal ring is subjected to R-chamfering with R=0.1 mm or more, or subjected to C-chamfering with the chamfering width of 0.1 mm or more and the end face width of 0.06 mm or more. Since the corner at the end portion of the metal ring is eliminated, breakage of foaming at the edge portion can be prevented. Furthermore, bonding force of the metal ring and the rubber material can be substantially equalized in the entire region of the gasket, and breakage of foaming can be prevented in the entire boundary surface of the metal ring and the rubber material.</p> |
