Camprofile gasket

A camprofile gasket uses a grooved metallic core with sealing layers on its contact faces; technical literature also uses the spelling Kammprofile. The grooved core and facing layers distinguish it from spiral-wound and jacketed constructions. Profile, facing layer, core material, thickness and flange compatibility must be selected from product documentation, with no universal performance or reusability inferred from the name.

Application and duty

Flange sealing with a grooved metal core and facing layers selected for the joint

Selection summary

Flanged-joint sealing matched to facing, pressure, temperature and fluid

A gasket must match flange facing, class, fluid, temperature, thermal cycling and bolt load; nominal size alone is insufficient.
