Abstract

A metallic flat gasket having a through-opening which is covered by a sieve element is described. The gasket serves for sealing a line transition between two components and for capturing particles in the fluid flowing through the line. At leat one metallic layer of the flat gasket has at least two continuations, which extend from the edge of a through-opening into the region of the through-opening, the at least two continuations being curved such that at least two of the continuations merge into each other in one plane or are connected together.
