Kempchen (KLINGER Kempchen) sealing technology covers static gaskets, packings, and compensators engineered for extreme pressure, temperature, and chemical conditions. Special applications include:
- High-pressure process equipment — Lens gaskets, delta gaskets, and specialized metal profile seals for autoclaves, high-pressure vessels, and urea-synthesis equipment. These designs handle extreme bolt loads and cyclic service.
- Heat exchangers and high-temperature flanges — Kammprofile (grooved) gaskets with graphite, PTFE, or advanced mica-based facings (including high-temperature materials rated to 1,000 °C). Ideal for refineries, power plants, and chemical reactors.
- Hot-gas and metallurgical service — Specialized hot-blast and hot-gas gaskets for steel-industry applications where dry heat and moderate pressure dominate.
- Aggressive chemical service — Metal/soft-material combinations, PTFE-envelope gaskets, and chemically resistant packings for acids, solvents, and process fluids that attack conventional materials.
- Nuclear and critical service — Proven use of grooved and specialized metal gaskets in primary-circuit and high-integrity applications.
- Expansion joints and dynamic sealing — Rubber compensators and high-performance packings for vibration isolation, thermal expansion, and valve/stem sealing under high pressure and temperature.
Proper flange preparation, bolt-load control, and material selection remain essential. Chemac’s experience matching Kempchen products to high-pressure pump and process systems helps ensure leak-free, long-term performance.
