Kammprofile Gaskets

Lamons Kammprofile gaskets are recognized as a problem solver for heat
exchangers, large vessels, and equipment that experience excessive movement
due to thermal expansion. The Kammpro provides one of the tightest seals
combined with superior load bearing characteristics. Kammpro gaskets consist
of a sealing core metal with or without guide ring. The sealing core is a
solid metal gasket with concentric serrations on both sealing surfaces and
faced with soft material such as flexible graphite, EPTFE, or the HTG
configuration depending on operating conditions. It is the preferred design
when needing improved performance at low seating stresses. The simultaneous
actions of a high compressibility facing material on the outside of the
grooved metal in combination with limited penetration of the tips of the solid
metal core enhance the interaction of the two materials. This allows the
component to perform individually to their optimum capabilities.

It is available in different materials and shapes such as non-circular shapes
which produced efficiently with extreme accuracy to fit various bonnet
connection shapes, also it can be custom engineered to fit various
applications. The suggested flange surface finish for Kammpro gaskets is
125-250 RMS.

Kammpro style LP1

Manufactured without a guide ring for tongue and groove, or recessed flange
applications such as Male and Female. It is typically used in heat exchanger
applications and applied as an upgrade to double jacketed gaskets especially
when lower load is needed. It is highly suggested to have the nubbin (if
present) machined out when applying Kammpro LP1 in heat exchanger
applications.

Kammpro style LP2

Constructed with an integral guide ring for aligning purposes. It is suggested
to be used in raised face flanges. The sealing core is designed and sized per
EN-12560-6 spec and depending on the flange specification the guide ring is
sized to fit properly.

Kammpro style LP3

Utilizes a loose fitting guide ring. This popular design is preferred to be
used for nominal pipe size and pressure class raised face flanges and is used
in equipment with excessive radial shear characteristics, thermal cycling, and
expansions. The sealing core is designed per EN-12560-6 spec and the guide
ring is sized to suit the flange specification. Also Kammpro gaskets can be
applied to high temperature applications which is rated to 1500° F.

Kammpro – HTG

Recognized as a problem solver for heat exchangers, large vessels and
equipment that experience high operating temperature. It utilizes a section of
high performance mica/phyllosilicate that protects the graphite and shields it
from contact of oxidizers. Kammpro HTG represents the best technology
available in regards to torque retention and seal ability at elevated
temperatures.

Kammpro ACHE

Specially designed to replace traditional solid metal “washer”
type gaskets typically used in air cooled heat exchangers. The design takes
advantage of the serrated profile with graphite facing to bite against the
finish of the header plate and fill in the voids, creating a superior level of
tightness. The Kammpro-ACHE has proven to be a very viable solution to
emission concerns found where optimal conditions for metal-to-metal sealing
are not realized.

Kammpro Dual Seal

Mates with leak detection devices incorporated into flanged assemblies used in
critical applications, such as lethal service. This highly effective gasket
has a primary seal followed towards the outer portion of the sealing area by a
relief section with through holes, where the leak detection equipment is
mounted. Past this relief section is a secondary sealing area that will
maintain the integrity of the bolted joint should the primary seal be
compromised and pressure differential is identified.
