Combination metal and knitted wire mesh gasket

摘要

A combination metal and knitted wire mesh gasket includes a gasket body formed of metal and having interconnected first and second portions. A layer of knitted wire mesh having a recess extending along the internal circumference of a first surface thereof receives the first portion of the metal gasket body. The second surface of the knitted wire mesh engages the second portion of the metal gasket body such that the first portion of the metal gasket body and the first surface of the knitted wire mesh form the first surface of the gasket. The second surface of the gasket is formed by the second portion of the metal gasket body.
