Sealing performance of standard rubber gaskets in the radial contact seal structure are observed through the experiment. A kind of profiled rubber gasket is proposed to replace the standard gasket. Leakage experiment and numerical simulation are carried out to study the sealing performance and failure mode of the profiled gasket. Several equations are presented to help analyze the failure reason. Results show that sealing performance of the profiled rubber gasket is more reliable than that of the standard rubber gasket. The failure reason of the profiled rubber gasket is that the friction force between the gasket external face and tube wall cannot balance the tube internal pressure. Dimension precision of the metal compressive ring has a great effect on the failure pressure.
