CamProfile Pipe Flange Gasket
Description
The Camprofile Pipe Flange Gasket (CPFG) features a serrated metal core with APX2 facing materials on both sides, designed to provide exceptional sealing performance across a broad range of pressure and temperature conditions. Engineered for use in flanged joints where flange gasket seating stress may be limited, CPFG gaskets offer an ideal combination of mechanical strength and seal adaptability.
Application
The CPFG gasket is designed for demanding applications in refineries, chemical plants, power generation, and general industrial plants. The CPFG is designed for all ASME B16.5 and ASME B16.47 flanges, so it can be directly substituted for any existing spiral wound gasket. Unlike spiral wound gaskets, it cannot come “unwound” and cannot be over-compressed, so it requires no inner ring. CPFG gaskets are used in standard pipe flange applications.
Sealing Characteristics
- Because the CPFG sealing element cannot come “unwound”, it is often preferred to spiral wound gaskets for sizes over 24″ – where the durable solid metal core of the CPFG makes handling and installation anxiety-free.
- The absence of an inner ring in the CPFG makes it ideal for applications where the inner rings of spiral wound gaskets. interfere with valve function or pipe cleaning.
- Not only does the CPFG seal a hundred times tighter than standard spiral wound gaskets, but it does so with seating stresses as low as 5,000 psi! This is truly a “low-stress” gasket.
Chemical Compatibility
The CPFG provides broad chemical resistance and excellent oxidation stability in high-temperature environments. PTFE facings are available upon request for demanding chemical applications.
Available Options
CPFG gaskets are manufactured per ASME B16.20 and are readily available in sizes from ½” to 24″ NPS. Custom sizes are available upon request. Stainless steel 316 core material is standard, however other alloys are available upon request.
Approvals & Certificates
APX2 is a fire-rated material, along with any gasket incorporating it as a component. For additional information, please consult the Engineering team.
