DESCRIPTION

LeaderKAM style FR kammprofi le gaskets feature an integral
outer locating ring, making them ideal for use with standard raised face and fl at face flange assemblies. The gasket consists of a metallic core with precision-machined concentric grooves on both sides, covered with soft sealing layers made of graphite, PTFE, or LeaderTHERM NXT 1010 (a modifi ed phlogopite for high-temperature performance).

Technical Data

APPLICATION

LeaderKAM kammprofi le gaskets are widely used in the petrochemical industry, steam systems, oﬀ shore and onshore exploration, pipelines, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and coolers. They are especially eﬀective in heat exchanger applications where process conditions fluctuate or cycle. These
gaskets are an excellent alternative to traditional metal jacketed gaskets.

ADVANTAGES

They are capable of handling low load applications and very high demanding load services.

CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY

LeaderKAM kammprofi le gaskets are compatible with a broad range of media, supporting the full pH spectrum from 0 to 14.

AVAILABLE OPTIONS

These gaskets are available in a wide range of sizes and materials, suitable for both standard and custom equipment. Upon request, EN 10204 3.1 material certifi cates and NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 compliance statements can be provided.

TEMPERATURE

With graphite sealing layers, LeaderKAM gaskets are suitable for temperatures from –450 °F to 850 °F (up to 1200 °F for steam). When using LeaderTHERM (phlogopite) layers, they can withstand temperatures up to 1800 °F. For specific applications, a detailed compatibility guide is available on request.
