Abstract:
A textile gasket and method of construction thereof for establishing a seal between mating members in a high temperature application is provided. The gasket has a knit, tubular body constructed at least in part of non-metallic, heat-resistant yarns. The body extends between opposite ends with at least one of the ends being rolled toward the other end to form a circumferentially extending rolled portion of a predetermined diameter for receipt between the mating members.
