What is washer?
Washers are generally used between bolts and nuts.It mainly plays a fastening role,and it is a standard part.
A gasket is a mechanical seal that fills the space between two objects,generally to prevent leakage between the two objects while under compression.Gaskets save money by allowing “less-than-perfect” mating surfaces on machine parts which can use a gasket to fill irregularities. Gaskets are commonly produced by cutting from sheet materials,such as gasket paper,rubber,silicone,metal,cork,felt,neoprene,nitrile rubber,fiberglass,or a plastic polymer(such as polychlorotrifluoroethylene).

Gaskets for specific applications may contain asbestos.It is usually desirable that the gasket be made from a material that is to some degree yielding such that it is able to deform and tightly fills the space it is designed for,including any slight irregularities.Many gaskets require an application of sealant directly to the gasket surface to function properly.
