What is a Kampro gasket?
Kammprofile Gaskets (HTG Option Available) Kammpro gaskets consist of a metal sealing core (with or without guide ring) with concentric serrations on both sealing surfaces and faced with a soft material such as flexible graphite, EPTFE, or a Lamons HTG configuration.
What is a metal gasket called?
A ring-type joint gasket, also known as an RTJ gasket, is a precision-machined metal gasket. The RTJ gaskets are widely used in refinery, petrochemical, and oil field drilling applications with a design to fit a grooved chamber on a flange face.
Are Kammprofile gaskets reusable?
For industrial users, Kammprofile gaskets manufacturers can refurbish the used gaskets and make them reusable as needed. Refurbished gaskets add to the savings of users of these gaskets. The sturdy nature of Kammprofile gaskets gives it the ability to stay effective for a longer period without wearing off.
What is Camprofile?
Camprofile gaskets consist of a metal core, with machined concentric grooves on each side, covered with a thin, bonded soft layer of sealing material. The serrated metallic core is very effective for sealing in applications where high temperatures, high pressures and fluctuating process conditions exist.
What is a grooved metal gasket?
Grooved gaskets are excellently suited for sealing of media under extreme operating conditions, such as high operating pressures and temperatures. They combine the specific properties of soft material gaskets (great alignment onto the flange sealing surface) and metal gaskets (high stability and rupture strength).
Can you reuse gaskets?
Once a gasket has taken a set (due to temperature and fluids), it should not be disturbed or reused. It would not have the same properties available to go through the initial compression provided by the joint and achieve the initial seal.
What is corrugated gasket?
Corrugated gaskets are universally applicable sealing elements. Due to the wide range of shapes that they can be produced in – including rings, ovals, elongated ovals or frames, with or with- out dividers, holes and retaining plates -they continue to be used in new areas. The gaskets can be fully or partially coated.
What is a spiral wound gasket?
A spiral wound gasket is a semi-metallic gasket. It consists of a spirally wound v-shaped metallic with a non-metallic filler material. There are three elements that constitute a spiral wound gasket.
What is vellumoid gasket material?
A nitrile rubber and cellulose fiber high density beater addition material. Highly resistant to oils, fuels,greases,water and coolants.
What are the metallic gaskets used for?
Metallic gaskets are generally used for high pressure and high temperature flanges. The superalloys can sustain its strength up to temperature 1200oC. The metallic gaskets require high tension bolting for effective sealings. The metallic gaskets are very robust and generally costly.
Which gasket is best?
Best Gasket Material
- Silicone Rubber. Flexible and resistant to high temperatures, Silicone rubber is a popular choice for gasket material.
- Natural Rubber.
- Nitrile.
- Neoprene Sponge.
- Neoprene Rubber.
- Cork.
- Asbestos.
- FKM fluoroelastomer rubber.
Can I use an O-ring as a gasket?
By definition, an O-ring is technically a gasket, but not all gaskets are O-rings. O-rings are made exclusively of an elastomer material, resulting in an elastic texture that’s able to stretch and revert back to its natural shape and size without breaking. Gaskets, on the other hand, can be made of any material.
