A Kammprofile gasket is a high-performance, semi-metallic gasket featuring a solid, serrated metal core with soft, conformable sealing layers (typically graphite or PTFE) on both faces.
Key Characteristics & Description
Core Structure: A metallic core?usually stainless steel or special alloys?machined with concentric serrations, providing high rigidity and low seating stress.
Sealing Layers: The serrated core is covered with soft facing materials (flexible graphite, PTFE, or mica) that conform to flange imperfections, providing a high-integrity seal even under low bolt loads.
Resilience: They are specifically designed for harsh environments, high pressures, and thermal cycling, outperforming double-jacketed and spiral-wound gaskets in many applications.
