Kamm Profile Gasket
The Kammprofile is preferred Gasket when improved performance at low seating stresses is required. It features excellent anti-blowout properties associated with the reliability of a solid metal-to-metal seal combined with soft sealing face to ensure a tighter joint. Kammprofile is an ideal replacement for problem applications associated with Jacketed Gaskets.
Specification
Genereral properties
