<p>This Drawing is Metal Gasket plate for foundation. A gasket is <strong>a ring or sheet composed of a supple material used in static applications to seal joints, flanges, and other mating surfaces to prevent leakage</strong>. Depending on the material and application, gaskets can be produced using a broad range of manufacturing techniques, including: Rubber extrusion. In a gasketed plate heat exchanger, <strong>the plates are fitted with elastomeric gaskets which seal the channels and direct the fluids into alternate channels</strong>. The plate pack is assembled between a frame plate and a pressure plate, and compressed by tightening bolts fitted between these plates. Base plate design is <strong>a key part of any structure design because loads are transferred from the superstructure to the foundation via the base plate</strong>. The base plate acts as an interface between the superstructure and the foundation; thus, completing the load path into the foundation. For more details and information download the drawing file.</p>
