KLINGER KGS gaskets are suitable for all flange materials and are available in NR, NBR, EPDM, CSM, FKM elastomers with steel core. Rubber metal gaskets are used where safe sealing of conventional up to special industrial media such as gases and liquids are required under usual installation conditions like temperatures, pressures and forces.
Depending on the elastomer type, safe sealing of water, gas, air, acids, alkalis, and hydrocarbons with low sealing forces at temperatures up to 200°C is possible.
Uses
They are typically employed to ensure exceptionally low leak rates and are also the optimal solution in cases where operators must work with low bolt loads and relatively low temperatures. The steel support ring prevents a blowout of the gasket and increases stability, allowing for easy handling, even when confronted with challenging fitting conditions.
Common application areas are e.g., in treatment plants, waterworks, biogas plants and the chemical industry.
Elastomer Gaskets Advantages
KLINGER KGS gaskets are characterized by an extremely good adhesion between the rubber und the steel ring, resulting in a robust and safe sealing product. As such, it offers numerous major advantages, including easy handling, ruggedness and superior sealing capabilities. Last but not least, it also guarantees tightness in tandem with uneven (coated) flanges frequently encountered in potable water applications. Available with gas approval (DIN-DVGW) and drinking water approval (KTW).
