Respuesta :

Answer:

Both the technicians are correct.

Explanation:

The gasket is device which is fitted between the two statically-mating surfaces to prevent any kind of leakages into or out of the parts.

It is very common between the flanges of the the pipes connecting together.

Compressive force between the two surfaces holds the gasket tightly between the surfaces and seals the joint preventing any leakage.
