Our grooved gaskets, or Kammprofile gaskets, are designed for high-pressure and high-temperature uses. The concentric grooves create a tight, consistent seal with reduced seating stress, making them the best choice for utilization in heat exchangers, pressure vessels, and sensitive pipeline flanges.

Goodrich Gasket: Grooved (Kammprofile) Gasket Innovation Redefining Sealing Excellence for Critical Applications
What is a Grooved (Kammprofile) Gasket? A Grooved (Kammprofile) Gasket features a solid metal core with precision-machined concentric grooves. These grooves are then bonded on both sealing surfaces with soft, conformable facing materials. The unique groove design induces high stress concentration, ensuring superior sealing even under fluctuating conditions. Facing materials minimize extrusion, enhancing durability and performance. Engineered for demanding environments, excelling in high pressure and high temperature applications (Class 150 3 2500).
Unique Design Advantages Precision Sealing Optimized Seating Concentric grooves are precisely machined for consistent, repeatable, and reliable sealing performance under various operating conditions. Soft facings ensure low initial stress, aiding in easy gasket seating and adapting perfectly to flange imperfections. Enhanced Safety Versatile Replacement Inherently blowout resistant, these gaskets eliminate the need for additional compression stops, simplifying installation and improving safety. An ideal and highly effective replacement for traditional jacketed gaskets, especially in critical heat exchanger applications.
Diverse Material Options Core Metals Facing Materials Goodrich Grooved Gaskets offer an extensive range of core materials to suit diverse industrial requirements, ensuring chemical compatibility and temperature resistance: The choice of facing material is crucial for optimal sealing performance, providing a soft, conformable barrier: Tanged Graphite for high temperatures and aggressive media Stainless Steel (316L, 304, 309, 310, 317L, 321, 347) Inconel, Hastelloy, Monel, Titanium Compressed Fiber for general industrial applications Alloy 20, Duplex, and other specialized alloys PTFE for chemical resistance and non-stick properties Soft Metals for specific pressure and temperature profiles All material combinations are customizable to meet the exact specifications of your unique application.
Versatile Styles & Applications Style G - PN Style G - ZG Style G - ZA Designed for confined locations such as male/female, tongue & groove, and recessed flanges. Provides a robust seal where space is limited. Features an integral outer locating ring for precise positioning on raised face and flat face flanges, ensuring proper alignment and compression. Includes a loose-fitting independent ring to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, making it ideal for fluctuating temperature environments. Applications: Ideal for severe conditions in pipe and equipment flanges, heat exchangers, and any application requiring high integrity sealing under extreme pressure and temperature.
