Flexpro® Kammprofile Gasket: A Reliable Solution for Harsh Sealing Applications
In high-pressure and high-temperature systems, selecting the right gasket is critical to ensuring both safety and operational efficiency. One of the most trusted solutions in heavy-duty industrial environments is the Flexpro® Kammprofile Gasket.
What is a Flexpro® Kammprofile Gasket?
The Flexpro® Kammprofile is a specialized metallic gasket featuring a serrated metal core with soft facing materials such as Graphite, PTFE, or Mica applied on both sides. This design combines the strength of metallic gaskets with the sealing capability of soft materials, offering excellent performance in demanding conditions.
Construction Overview
Core: Made from materials like stainless steel or Monel, precision-machined with concentric serrations for effective load concentration.
Facing: Soft sealing materials applied to both sides to ensure tightness and protect flange surfaces.
Key Technical Features
Excellent sealing performance even with imperfect or damaged flanges
High resistance to temperature and pressure (typically over 500°C depending on materials)
Stable under load variation and thermal cycling
Reusable in some cases, reducing long-term maintenance costs
Tip: Always choose facing materials that are chemically compatible with your process fluids for optimal performance.
Applications in Industry
Flexpro® Kammprofile gaskets are widely used in:
Petrochemical and refining industries
Power generation and steam systems
Heat exchangers and pressure vessels
High-pressure and high-temperature piping systems
Conclusion
Flexpro® Kammprofile Gaskets offer a balanced combination of metallic strength and soft sealing capability, making them ideal for critical sealing applications. Their durability, reliability, and adaptability make them a preferred choice for industries requiring top-tier sealing performance.
