Taper-Sealing gasket's defining characteristic is its ability to form a seal even when it is exposed to a damaged flange knife edge.

Because seal is done by penetration of the flange knife edges to the gasket faces, sealing with a conventional disk gasket is sensitive to damaged knife edge.

Seal property of Taper-Sealing gasket is independent of a status of the knife edge conditions because the Taper-Sealing gasket never touches the tip of the knife edges.
