What's the difference between the gasket and the washer?

Answer:

Other uses are used as spacers, springs (Baer, gasket, wave washer), wear-resistant pads, pre display devices, and locking devices. Rubber gaskets are also used on taps (valves) to cut off flowing liquids or gases. Rubber or silicone gaskets are also available to reduce vibration of the fan. Usually the outer diameter of the gasket is about two times the inside diameter.
Gasket (washer) is thin (usually circular) a vulnerability (usually in the middle) is usually used for load distribution of the thread fasteners, pad between the connecting piece and the nut parts, generally flat shaped metal ring.
Gaskets (gasket) are mechanical seals between two bodies, usually used to prevent pressure, corrosion, and natural heat expansion, cold contraction and leakage between two bodies. Because machined surfaces are not perfect, gaskets can be used to fill the irregularity. Gaskets are usually made of sheet materials such as cushion paper, rubber, silicone rubber, metal, cork, felt, neoprene, nitrile rubber, fiberglass or plastic polymers (such as Teflon).
