Garlock Kammprofile Gasket

Serrated solid metal core

• Serrations concentrate bolt load on small area for tight seal at lower stress
• Solid metal core resists cold flow, overcompression and blowout
• Rigid core provides exceptional stability, even in large sizes, and facititates handling and installation

Soft, deformable sealing material

• Under compression, fills seating surface imperfections to form a tight, metal-to-metal connection
• Seals under low stress-ideal for weaker flanges
• Withstands extreme fluctuations in temperatures and pressures
• Optional convex root core compensates for flange weakness and counteracts flange rotation
• Integral centering ring ensures optimum gasket positioning
• Floating centering ring attached outside sealing area compensates for expansion and contraction during thermal cycling
