Difference between Gaskets and Seals
2

• Rubber products are used widely for different
  industrial purposes. Gaskets and seals are few of
  them that can be found in numerous applications.
  However, there is a difference between the two.
  Gaskets are used as a seal between two components
  with flat surfaces whereas seals are put to use
  for shafts, pumps and parts of engines that
  rotate. Seals are mostly round and flat whereas
  gaskets are of different shapes in order to fit
  into components well. Seals are used to prevent
  leaks and are used in bearings that help cancel
  noise along with preventing leaking.
• Gaskets are chiefly made of rubber or
  elastomeric materials but there are also
  materials like cork, cork rubber and graphite
  among others that are used for its manufacture.
  Gaskets are used most often in oil and gas
  industry and pulp and paper industry. They are
  also used in electricity generation and
  transportation.
