  • Publication number: 20090315274
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a gasket and a pipe joint using the same, which can achieve airtightness with a locking torque smaller than that used conventionally. The gasket of the present invention is interposed in between two coupling faces of a first pipe and a second pipe interconnecting to the first pipe, and each of the two coupling faces has at least one annular protrudent strip. The gasket of the present invention is characterized in that the gasket has at least one annular reception/contact member corresponding to the annular protrudent strip, and that the annular protrudent strip is pressed against the annular reception/contact member to form a twofold airtight mechanism with an inner annular contact area and an outer annular contact area. Thereby, the present invention can effectively promote the airtightness of the two coupling faces of the first pipe and the second pipe.
