Norwegian term

pakninger

Norwegian to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
Firmaet lager stlpeformer i plast for rørdeler, blant annet. I tillegg lager de maskiner: "Vi lager også helautomatiske muffemaskiner for utblokking
av rør og innsetting av pakninger."

Hva slags pakninger er det snakk om her? Trenger litt fagkunnskaplig hjelp her ("gaskets? washers? packing?)

gasket

I would say gasket.
According to the first reference given, gasket is "...a mechanical seal that fills the space between two mating surfaces, generally to prevent leakage from or into the joined objects while under compression.
...Some (piping) gaskets are made entirely of metal and rely on a seating surface to accomplish the seal; the metal's own spring characteristics are utilized (up to but not passing Sy, the material's yield strength)"

ps. I think you hit the wrong button when entering field type.
Peer comment(s):

agree Sarah Carlson : yes, gasket is correct. here you are talking about plastic plumbing parts where you use a flexible gasket to ensure a propper seal.

seals

This is a generic term for pakninger which enables you to avoid being specific (washers and gaskets are different sorts of seal)
Example sentence:

A Compression seal fitting, also known as a sealing gland, is intended to seal some type of element (probe, wire, conductor, pipe, tube, fiber optic cable) when the element must pass through a pressure or environmental boundary

Peer comment(s):

agree Leif Henriksen : Sounds good to me. It may well be that the most widely used seal in tubing/piping applications is the O-ring, which is a gasket, which is a seal :) For the purpose of this text, I find seal to be most appropriate.
