Custom Kammprofile Gasket for the Refining Industry

Our well-equipped facility here at Mercer Gasket & Shim gives us the unique ability to manufacture oversized gaskets for high performance, large-scale applications. We used our large bed laser cutter to fabricate the carbon steel gasket highlighted here, which featured dimensions of 108” OD x 102” ID x 1/8” in thickness.

Systematically calculated beam parameters combined with advanced CNC controls enabled us to automatically guide the position of the laser and cut with maximum speed and precision to form the diameters, ribs, and holes. In addition to corrugating with the precise wave pattern called for in the specification, we prepared a Positive Material Identification report (PMI) to validate material composition. Rigorous tests and inspections validated that we upheld the ± 1/16” tolerance requirement.

Having the right equipment, extensive material inventory, and a technically educated workforce enabled us to turn this job around within 24 hours. Constructed for use in a refinery, this gasket exhibited high resilience and maintained a tight, reliable seal through thermal cycling and fluctuations in operating conditions for an extended service life.
