Maxiprofile Kammprofile Gasket

KLINGER Maxiprofile Kammprofile gaskets provide a reliable, high-integrity seal, particularly for challenging flange conditions. Featuring a solid metallic core with concentric serrations and a soft facing material, they deliver excellent sealing performance at relatively low seating stresses.

Robust construction and versatile applications

_

The gasket consists of a solid metallic core with precision-machined concentric grooves, covered with a soft facing material. When compressed, the facing material flows into imperfections on the flange surface, while the serrated metallic core creates localised high-pressure points to achieve a highly leak-tight seal.

_

Originally developed for problematic flange applications, Maxiprofile Kammprofile Gaskets are particularly suited to vessel applications, heat exchangers and installations where gasket width is limited. They are also frequently used as an upgrade to metal jacketed gaskets, offering improved leak-tightness, ease of installation and the potential for refurbishment and reuse.

_

Available in a wide range of core metallurgy and facing material combinations, Maxiprofile gaskets can be configured for standard applications as well as non-standard, damaged or mismatched flanges.

Maxiprofile Kammprofile Gaskets with graphite or mica facing are fire safe in accordance with API 6FB. Their metallic cores can also be refurbished and reused, providing a practical solution for suitable applications.
