SM41

Camprofile gasket SM41 with floating centering ring, attached outside the sealing area consist of a metal core, generally stainless steel, with concentric grooves on either side. A sealing layer is usually applied on both sides and depending on the service duty the material for this layer can be graphite, PTFE (Teflon®), asbestos free gasket sheeting material or metal (e.g. aluminium or silver). The sealing layers protect the flange surfaces from damage in addition to providing an effective seal.

The wide seating stress range (minimum to maximum seating stress) of the camprofile gasket makes it:
- Highly suitable for varying temperatures and pressures.
- Less sensitive to assembly faults (inaccurate bolt tensioning).
- Suitable for light and heavy designed flanges.
Dependent upon the layer material camprofile gaskets can resist temperatures up to approx. 1000°C.
Resistant to media pressures up to 250 bar.
When assembled the remaining thickness of the sealing material is extremely low (0.1 – 0.2 mm), thus reducing leaks, fail
rates and environment pollution.
The gasket will not damage the flange surface and can be easily removed.
Camprofile cores are re-usable after cleaning, inspection (including profile tracing) and relayering with new sealing material.
This is of particular interest in the case of costly heat exchanger gaskets (when using Monel® for instance, and other exotic
materials).
Reduces maintenance costs and leakage – thanks to the camprofile gasket’s reliability and sealing performance
