Norton Gaskets grooved or camprofile gaskets consist of a metal core with concentric grooves and a soft layer of sealing material bonded to both grooved faces. Grooved gaskets are an excellent solution for extreme operating conditions, Non-metal layers ensure that flanges remains undamaged while a metal core ensures the gasket’s stability. Grooved gaskets provide the highest level of sealing integrity and have the ability to sea at low seating stress, Very low diffusion level and very high density ensure very low leakage rates, Grooved gaskets are proven to be very effective where temperatures and pressures are constantly fluctuating, They can be used as an alternative for applications associated with metal jacketed gaskets and are ideal choice for heat exchanger services.
General Characteristics
- Camprofiles resist pressures up to 40o bar, and depending on the sealing layer gaskets can resist temperatures up to approx, +i000°C,
- Gaskets are suitable for applications according to various specifications for flanges (DIN, ASTM, EN,JIS, etc.) and a very wide seating stress range (highly suitable for varying temperatures and pressures, less sensitive to assembly faults, suitable for light and heavy designed flanges),
- Grooved gaskets do not damage the flange surfaces and can be easily removed
Application : Chemical and petrochemical industry | Nuclear power stations | Steam generation | Power plants | Heat exchangers
Standard Gasket Profiles
At Norton Gaskets Grooved gaskets are made in several different profiles to profile shapes.
Norton Gaskets corrugates gaskets are universally usable sealing elements. Due to the different possibilities of manufacturing in the form of rings, ovals, long ovals or frames, which can be with or without ribs, holes, and fixing loops, the field of application for these gaskets is expanding continuously. The gaskets can be completely or partly covered with a soft layer. Even in cases of uneven flanges a satisfactory tightness could be achieved with adequate flexible soft layers. Corrugated gaskets are used in applications where mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, temperature and corrosion resistance are requested, The field of application for these gaskets is growing.
