KAMPROFILE GASKET
Kammprofile Gaskets – Reliable Sealing Solutions
At S.P. Engineers, we specialise in manufacturing Kammprofile Gaskets, also known as camprofile or grooved gaskets, renowned for their exceptional reliability in challenging applications. These gaskets combine the strength of a metal core with the sealing efficiency of soft filler materials, making them an ideal choice for industries such as oil and gas, power plants, chemical processing, and more.
With precision engineering and a focus on quality, S.P. Engineers delivers Kammprofile gaskets that meet the highest standards of performance, durability, and environmental safety.
What Are Kammprofile Gaskets?
Kammprofile gaskets consist of:
- Metal Core: Typically stainless steel with concentric grooves on both sides for enhanced sealing.
- Sealing Layers: Thin non-metallic layers such as graphite, PTFE, CAF, or metals (e.g., aluminium or silver), tailored to the application requirements.
These gaskets are suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications. While Kammprofile gaskets can seal effectively without the sealing layers, the absence of these layers may risk flange surface damage.
Advantages
With a thickness of just 0.5 mm, sealing layers minimise leakage and reduce waste.
Easy to remove without damaging the flange surface.
Lowers maintenance expenses and seals damaged flanges temporarily until repairs can be made.
Compatible with existing flange designs and finishes.
Key Features
- Wide Seating Stress Range: Performs effectively across a broad stress range.
- Temperature and Pressure Resistance: Suitable for temperatures up to 1000°C and pressures up to 250 bar.
- Durability: Withstands fluctuating temperatures and pressures.
- Easy Installation and Maintenance: Less sensitive to assembly errors caused by uneven bolt tensioning.
- Flange Protection: Prevents damage to flange surfaces, even under high seating loads.
- Environmentally Friendly: Significantly reduces leakage into the atmosphere, ensuring compliance with environmental standards.
Applications
Kammprofile gaskets are widely used in critical and hazardous environments, ensuring safety and performance in applications such as:
Petrochemical and Chemical Industries
High-pressure hydrocarbons and superheated steam systems.
Power Plants
Manhole covers, valve caps, and heat exchangers in pressurizers or steam generators.
Oil and Gas Pipelines
Ensures leak-proof sealing under extreme conditions.
Heat Exchangers
Provides a reliable seal even under thermal cycling.
