Kammprofile Serrated Gaskets

Description

IDT-Kammprofile gasket is perfectly suited for secure sealing of flange connections in extreme operating conditions. They combine the specific properties of non- metallic gaskets [good elasticity to the flange surface] and metal gaskets [high stability and bursting strength]. The design allows high compression of the non- metallic layer, promoting low diffusion, and ensures that the serrated tips remain covered with non-metallic material, even in high surface pressure applications. In a compressed stage, the coverage of the serrated tip is still at approx. 0,1 mm. Flange surface roughnesses of Rz <=80 µm are recommended. Kammprofile gasket are described in DIN EN 1514-6 with regards to base body profiling, thickness and material of the layers. It complies with TA Luft 2002 [VDI 2440/2200]; the calculatory leakage proof for VDI 2290 can also be supplied.

Properties

  • Temperature resistance depending on non-metallic layer and selected metallic carrier material
  • Constant temperature range for graphite layer:
    -200 °C to approx. 450 °C; higher temperatures are possible depending on the design
  • Constant temperature range for PTFE layer:-200°C to approx.250 °C •
  • Very high operating pressures [400 bar]
  • Media resistance depending on non-metallic layer and selected metallic carrier material
  • High operational safety due to broad range of applications
  • Very low leakage rates for gases and liquids
  • Complies with TA Luft 2002[VDI 2440/2200] leakage requirements
  • Complies VDI 2290 [with calculatory leakage certificate following DIN EN 1591-1]
  • Fire Safe Test [Graphite
  • BAM-test report for liquid and gaseous oxygen [graphite]
  • Blow-out resistance [graphite]
  • No ageing and brittling even at high temperatures
  • Does not present a health risk
  • Very good handling during transport,installation and dismant-ling,mechanically stable
  • No excess pressing with standard tension devices
  • Individual labeling of every gasket on the centring ring
  • Use of low chloride graphite layers [chloride content < 25 ppm] and adhesive [chloride content < 12 ppm] allows the safe use of Kammprofile gasket even with parts made from austenitic materials
