The current study examines the theoretical and experimental behaviour of gaskets when using different cases of disc samples (free-free, free-fix and fix-fix). The samples are made of rubber. The deformation of the gasket as a function of loading depends significantly on how it is fixed to the rigid supports. Physical properties have been explained. In experimental analysis of the sample disc "Free-Free", the loading velocity does not have a significant influence on the range of values of the mentioned velocity. All the curves in the "Free-Fix" disc load illustrate that at the same deformation, the average pressure is higher than in the case of the "free-free" disc. At the deformation of 1.49 mm, the average pressure is 33% higher than all other graphs. In the case of the "Fix-Fix" disc, it is observed that the load, evaluated by the average pressure, is clearly higher than in the case "Free-Fix" disc. At a deformation of 1.49 mm, the average pressure was found to be 15 times higher.
