Kammprofile is a composite gasket, which utilises a serrated metal core with a soft facing material.

 

The metal core is a machined on each contact face with concentric serrations which provide high pressure areas, ensuring that the soft coating flows into any imperfections in the flange even at relatively low bolt loads. The result is a gasket, which combines the benefits of soft, cut materials with the advantages of seal integrity associated with metallic gaskets.

 

Expanded graphite is the most common facing material used for Maxiprofile gaskets. However, other materials can be used, such as PTFE for chemically aggressive duties or mica for high temperature duties.
