Kammprofile Gaskets
Manufactured from solid metal, CANFLEX® Kammprofile gaskets combine the strength and reliability of a metallic gasket with enhanced sealing performance. Their precision machined serrated core creates a reduced sealing contact area, allowing an effective seal to be achieved with lower bolt loads than traditional solid metal gaskets. As standard, flexible graphite facing is bonded to both sides of the metal core, providing excellent sealing characteristics across a wide range of operating conditions. Alternative metals and facing materials are also available to meet specific chemical compatibility, pressure, and temperature requirements.
The Kammprofile design features concentric grooves machined into the sealing surface, creating a profile that resembles a camshaft. These serrations improve gasket conformity to flange surfaces, distribute bolt load more evenly, and enhance sealing effectiveness, particularly on flanges that are less than perfect. This distinctive profile is the reason Kammprofile gaskets are often informally referred to as "camprofile" gaskets.
CANFLEX® Kammprofile gaskets are widely used in refinery, petrochemical, power generation, pulp and paper, and general process industry applications where dependable sealing is critical. Their combination of a robust metal core and soft sealing layer delivers excellent resilience, blowout resistance, and long term performance under challenging operating conditions. Easy installation, reduced maintenance requirements, and reliable sealing capability make them an ideal solution for demanding service environments.
Style 942A Gasket
The CANFLEX® Style 942A gasket features a solid metal core with precision machined serrations and a bonded Grafoil sealing layer for enhanced sealability. By reducing the area of contact, the design requires lower bolt stress to achieve an effective seal while maintaining the strength of a metallic gasket. The Style 942A is particularly effective on imperfect flange surfaces and is commonly used as a high performance replacement for traditional double jacketed heat exchanger gaskets.
Style 942 AR2 Gasket
942 AR2 is designed to accommodate standard ASME flanges in applications up to 2500#. Floating centering ring allows for expansion and contraction in applications where thermal cycling is prevalent.
