Metal Camprofile Gasket

Specifications

Camprofile gaskets consist of a metal core (Generally Stainless Steel) with concentric grooves on either side with sealing materials. The sealing layers (depending on the service duty) can be Graphite, PTFE (Teflon), CAF or Metal(e.g Aluminium or Silver). Camprofile's can be used without sealing layers to provide an excellent seal but their is a risk of flange surface damage,.

 The very wide seating stress range (minimum to maximum stress) of   the    camprofile gasket makes it: 
 highly suitable for varying temperature and pressures. 
 less senstive to assembly faults (inaccurate bolt tensioning). 
 suitable for light and heavily constructed flanges.,

 Dependent on layer material camprofile gaskets are resistant to temperatures    up to 1000 degree C  Resistant to media pressures up to 250 bar

The additional benefits are:

 When assembled the layer thickness of the sealing material is extremely small    (0.5mm) thus reducing leaks, reject rates and environment pollution.

 The gasket will not damage the flange surface and can be easily removed,.

 Reduces maintenance costs 

 Emergency sealing of damaged flanges by using 1mm thick sealing layers until    the flange can be reworked 
 Flange face protection Camprofiles wil not damage the flange faces even at    extreme seating load. 
 

Excellent performance when subject to fluctuating temperatures and pressures.. 

 Direct replacement for existing gaskets. No special flange finish is necessary.
 Eco-friendly by significant reducing leakage into the atmosphere.Flange surface finish The recommended flange surface finish for camprofiles with sealing layers is from 125-250 RMS.

oose or Integral rings

Thermal-shock conditions may damage camprofiles with integral centring rings (thermal tension may cause cracks in the core),
