- Kammprofile Gasket
Kammprofile gaskets consist of a sealing core metal with or without guide ring. The sealing core is a solid metal gasket with concentric serrations on both sealing surfaces and faced with soft sealing material such as flexible graphite, Expanded PTFE depending on operating conditions.
The soft facing material provides low stress gasket seating, while the serrated geometry of the metal core enhances sealing performance by causing stress concentrations on the sealing surfaces. The serrations minimize lateral movement of the facing material, while the metal core provides rigidity and blowout resistance.
Type A : Parallel root core for use in confined locations including male & female, Tounge & groove, and recessed flange arrangement.
Type B : Pareller root core with integral centering ring suitable for raise face and flat face flanges.
Type C : Pareller root core with loose fitting cantering ring which reduces the possibility of damage to the core as a result of mechanical and thermal shock.
Type D : Convex root core ensures the highest contact pressure in the middle of the profile and excellent flow of soft sealing layer in to the flange surface.
Type E : parallel root core with pass partition bars are suitable for male & female as well as tongue & groove flanges of Heat exchangers.
A) Very forgiving of inconsistent bolt torqueing or installation error. Applicable to almost all types of flanges regardless of bolt load available.
B) The effective thickness of sealing layers are extremely less reducing fugitive emissions.
C) Offers extreme temperature and chemical resistance because of the variety of materials available.
D) High pressures are easily sealed.
E) Low seating stresses helps to reduce flange damage and gasket removal problems.
F) The metal gasket cores are reusable reducing cost of replacement gasket.
G) Maintain effective sealing performance in varying temperature and pressure conditions.
H) Adaptable to suit existing arrangements without modifications.
I) Reduce maintenance cost & leakage.
A) Kammprofile gaskets are more tolerant to sealing surface defects and seal more effectively in fugitive emissions services.
B) Can be manufactured for use with narrow flange.
Kamprofile gasket or Camprofile gasket or Metal Grooved gasket.Â
UKL Kammprofile gaskets are known as a problem solver for heat exchangers, large vessels, and equipment that experience excessive movement due to thermal expansion. Kammprofile gaskets consist of a metal core with soft sealing layer with or without guide ring.
Yes. Kammprofile Gaskets are also an excellent choice for old, worn heat exchangers originally designed for jacketed gaskets.
The UKL Kammprofile gasket handles pressures from full vacuum to the maximum rating of the flange and withstands temperatures from cryogenics to 1090°C, depending on sealing layer material and metal core.
Available in MOC,
Metal Core: CS/SS304/SS316/SSS316L/SS321/SS347. Soft facing Material : Graphite/NCAF/PTFE ( Exotic material also available on request )
The recommended flange surface finish for UKL Kammprofile gaskets is 3.2 to 6.3 micro meter ( 125 to 250 micro inch CLA)
M : 2
Y : 17 Mpa.
The soft facing material provides low stress gasket seating, while the serrated geometry of the metal core enhances sealing performance by causing stress concentrations on the sealing surfaces. The serrations minimize lateral movement of the facing material, while the metal core provides rigidity and blowout resistance.
Hydrogen, Natural Gas, Heat transfer oil, Exhaust gas, Steam, superheated steam, high-pressure hydrocarbon beside other application.
The depth and profile of the groove is specially design to facilitate densification of the facing material and create a very leak tight seal with low gasket stresses.
All standard sizes and customer made designs are available in UKL Kammprofile range.
