QandA:
Q: What Is the Difference Between a Flat Washer and a Gasket?
A: A gasket is usually a flat part that seals two adjoining equal surfaces. A gasket can have any shape not necessarily circular like a washer. They are used in cars like valve covers and pool pumps and pipes with flanges that carry liquid or gas. The material can be any thing that so long it will serve the purpose. Mostly rubber compounds but also plastic and paper. The material used is usually softer so it will conform to the adjoining surfaces to be sealed.
A washer is usually used under a nut or a screw head on softer material so not to damage it.
There are many types of washers like flat washers, lock- washers. star washers and many more. generally are round but could also be square. The material they are made of is for flat washers steel or aluminum or any other material like plastic or brass. Lock washers and star washers generally are made from hardened steel to cut into the material and so prevents the nut from coming loose.
Q: Can copper washers be reused?
A: Plain flat copper washers are reuseable.Copper crush washers are designed to seal with a given force against the mating surfaces. They are one-shot and replaced new with each use.Crush washers are expensive as things go, being just under a dollar each, but trying to achieve a seal without replacing them can be more expensive in the long run.
