Kammprofile (grooved) Gaskets

A semi-metallic gasket system, which consist of: centering (outer) ring made of special steel cam-profiled (sealing) ring made of special steel soft covering layer made of graphite, ptfe, ..

Typical applications:

• pipelines, heat exchanger.
• The soft cover adapts flange surfaces with ra < 6, 3
• The soft covering layer (in most of the cases expanded graphite), is trapped in the tread and can not be extruded into the gap.
• The trapped graphite provides good compressibility and resilience.
• The cam profiled ring can be re-used again several times.
• A good quality Kammprofile gasket can be very expensive.
• Soft cover cam-profiled sealing ring outer ring.
