Abstract

See full text

A composite gasket for forming a seal between a pipe bell and a spigot comprises a first axially disposed portion formed of an elastomeric material and has a first leading edge and a first trailing edge, and a second axially disposed portion, adjacent the first axially disposed portion, formed of a generally non-elastomeric substantially rigid plastic, which comprises multiple, axially extending, laterally spaced apart, ramp-like projections separated by circumferential valleys, which expose elastomeric material. Fluid entering the valleys during a high pressure surge force the composite gasket into a tighter seal.
