ABSTRACT:
A gasket (10) seals an interface between a pair of parts (12, 14) mounted to each other in torqued engagement and having facing surfaces (20, 22) thermally expanding towards each other upon heating, and contracting away from each other upon cooling. The gasket includes a resilient member (11) between the engaging the facing surfaces in sealing relation, and a plurality of rigid spacers (36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46) permitting torqued engagement of the parts without squeezing out the resilient member from between the facing surfaces, and preventing compression of the resilient member beyond its permanent deformation elastic limit upon thermal expansion of the facing surfaces towards each other upon heating, including central portions (56, 58) of the facing surfaces thermally warping between spacers. Upon cooling, the facing surfaces contract away from each other, and the resilient member recovers and expands to maintain the seal against the facing surfaces.
