What KLINGER Kempchen GmbH Supplies

Soft-Material Gaskets: Flat gaskets produced from all standard soft materials, suitable for temperatures from -200°C to +550°C. Material selection is matched to the medium, concentration, temperature, pressure and flange type.

Metal/Soft-Material Gaskets: Gaskets with a metal carrier matched to the soft material geometry, designed for high temperatures, high pressures, high screw forces and low leak rates. Available in rings, ovals and frames, with or without dividers, holes and retaining plates.

Metal Gaskets: Solid metal flat gaskets for applications where soft-material or metal/soft-material gaskets are unsuitable due to medium, temperature, pressure or permitted leakage rate. Suitable for temperatures from -200°C to over +600°C and pressures from relatively low to extremely high.

Special Gaskets: Individually constructed gaskets and components for bolted flange connections on apparatuses, valves and pipelines, including solutions for visual or software-aided analysis.

PTFE Gaskets: PTFE-based sealing solutions for the chemical industry, with temperature resistance from -190°C to +250°C (short-term up to +300°C), low friction coefficient, high insulation and puncture resistance, and non-flammable properties.

Packings: Stuffing box packings for machine elements requiring sealing where shafts or spindles emerge from pressurised spaces, selected for stability under the medium and operating conditions.

Compensators: Fabric compensators and expansion joints for industrial plant applications, supporting movement compensation in piping systems.

Applications and Industries

Chemical and Petrochemical: Sealing solutions for chemical processing and petrochemical operations, covering demanding media, concentrations and operating conditions.

Refineries: Gaskets and packings for refinery applications where high pressures, temperatures and critical media require verified sealing performance.

Power Plants: Sealing technology for power generation facilities, including nuclear power plant applications with KTA 1401 approval for gaskets, packings and expansion joints.

General Industrial Processes: Sealing solutions across all industrial sectors requiring static sealing of flanged connections, apparatuses, valves and pipelines.
