Carnprofile

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 (Tefond ), CAF or Metal (e.g. Aluminium or Silver). Camprofile ’s can be used without sealing layers to provide an excellent seal but there is a risk of flange surface damage - especially at high seating loads. The sealing layers protect the flange surfaces from damage in addition to providing an effective seal.

Characteristics
The very wide seating stress range (minimum to maximum stress) of the camprofile gasket makes it:
- highly suitable for varying temperatures and pressures.
- less sensitive 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 circa 1000^oC
Resistant to media pressures up to 250 bar.

The additional benefits are:
When assembled the layer thickness of the sealing material is
extremely small (0.1 - 0.2 mm) thus reducing leaks, reject rates
and environment pollution.
The gasket will not damage the flange surface and can be
easily removed.
Camprofile cores are re-usable after cleaning, inspection
(including profile tracing) and re-layering. This is particularly
interesting with costly heat exchanger gaskets (monel for
instance).
Reduces maintenance costs - thanks to the camprofile
gasket’s super reliability and sealing performance.

Camprofile gasket formats
Apart from standard round gaskets the camprofile can be made in a variety of shapes - oval, rectangular and exchanger gaskets with pass-bars.
Correctly dimensioned drawings are required to make non-standard gaskets and gasket shapes.
