The Kammprofile gasket consists of a solid
metal core, serrated on both sides and covered
with a soft, conforming, sealing material (filler)
that is bonded to each face. This soft facing
produces a gasket with low seating stress.
The design of the serrated metal core enhances
the gasket's sealing performance by inducing
stress concentrations on the sealing surfaces,
thus minimizing lateral flow and
confining the applied load upon the
gasket sealing faces. The combination
of serration profile and soft sealing
material work together so that the final
compression of the gasket exhibits a profile
of alternating metal and filler boundaries. This gasket is especially well suited
for use in heat exchangers and other large diameter applications where a rigid,
semi-metallic design, is desired for blowout resistance and ease of installation.
