The Camprofile gasket style 942, combines the pressure resistance of flat metal gaskets with the excellent sealability of the flexible graphite or expanded PTFE tape. The style 942 has a serrated metal core covered on both sides with a thin tape of flexible graphite or expanded PTFE.
The camprofile gaskets can be used up to 3700 psi (250 bar) operating pressure and up to 1100°F (600°C) maximum temperature.
