Kammprofile Gaskets
The Kammprofile is the preferred gasket when needing improved performance at low seating stresses. 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.

Standard Styles
Style G-PN
Style G-PN Kammprofile gaskets are selected for use in confined locations, including male and female, tongue and groove, and recessed flange arrangements.
Style G-ZG
Variation of the G-PN Kammprofile, utilizing an integral outer locating ring for correct gasket positioning within the mating flange bolt circle. Style G-ZG Kammprofile gaskets are recommended for use on standard raised face and flat face flange assemblies.
Style G-ZA
The Style G-ZA Kammprofile is a slight variation of the Style G-ZG. The integral outer locating ring is replaced by a loose fitting independent ring which is preferred where flange differential radial thermal expansion may be encountered. These rings may also be spot welded.
