Kammprofile metal gaskets — also known as serrated metal gaskets or camprofile gaskets — deliver superior sealing performance in heat exchangers, pressure vessels, and high-temperature flange connections. Unlike spiral wound gaskets, the serrated solid metal core with concentric grooves concentrates bolt load directly onto the sealing surface, achieving a tighter seal with lower initial seating stress.
At Kaxite Sealing, a leading China kammprofile gasket manufacturer since 2015, we engineer every kammprofile gasket to ASME B16.20 and API 607 standards. Our serrated metal gaskets are trusted by procurement engineers across oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, and pharmaceutical industries in over 60 countries.

Serrated grooves concentrate bolt load — achieves a tight seal with lower initial torque than spiral wound gaskets.
Excellent recovery and compressibility maintain seal integrity through repeated heating and cooling cycles.
Kammprofile gaskets compress less and load more quickly, making them more effective at preventing fugitive emissions.
Both are high-performance semi-metallic gaskets, but they serve different applications. Here's how they compare:
| Feature | Kammprofile | Spiral Wound |
|---|---|---|
| Seating Stress | Lower | Higher |
| Fugitive Emission Control | Superior | Standard |
| Thermal Cycling Performance | Excellent | Good |
| Heat Exchanger Application | Preferred | Acceptable |
| Initial Cost | Higher | Lower |
| Best Application | Heat Exchangers / Critical Service | General Piping / Standard Flanges |
Kammprofile gaskets often provide superior sealing performance and emissions control, while spiral wound gaskets may offer a lower initial cost.
A kammprofile gasket (also called a serrated metal gasket or camprofile gasket) consists of a solid metal core with concentric serrations (grooves) machined into both sealing surfaces. A soft, conformable facing material — typically flexible graphite, PTFE, or non-asbestos — is bonded to both sides of the grooved core.
When bolted between flanges, the soft facing material compresses into the serrated grooves, creating a tight, metal-to-metal seal that resists blowout and thermal cycling. This design makes kammprofile gaskets an ideal replacement for double-jacketed gaskets in heat exchanger applications, offering better sealing performance and longer service life.
Kammprofile gaskets have replaced jacketed gaskets as the preferred heat exchanger sealing solution due to their exceptional compressibility and recovery properties, which maintain seal integrity under high pressure and high temperature.
They also accommodate irregular bolt loading and flange movement caused by thermal expansion.
Temperature range depends on facing material selection.
