MAXIFLEX MAXIPROFILE

SPIRAL WOUND GASKETS KAMMPROFILE

High integrity seal for use with virtually all media
dependent upon style and filler material.
Spiral wound gaskets have the ability to recover under
the action of fluctuating loads caused by process
fluid pressure and temperature changes, flange face
temperature variations, flange rotation, bolt stress
relaxation and creep.
The gasket sealing element consists of a pre-
formed metallic winding strip with layers of a
softer, more compressible sealing material which,
during compression, is densified and flows to fill
imperfections in the flange surfaces when the gasket
is seated. The metallic strip holds the filler giving the
gasket mechanical resistance and resilience.
Available in a wide range of material combinations to
suit applications.
Klinger Maxiflex spiral wound gaskets also meet the
tightness requirements of TA-Luft.
Klinger Maxiflex spiral wound gaskets are fire safe to
API 6FB.
Main types available
The Klinger Maxiprofile is a composite gasket, which
utilises a serrated metal core with a soft facing material.
The metal core is machined on each contact face with
concentric serrations which provide high pressure
areas, ensuring that the soft coating flows into any
imperfections in the flange even at relatively low bolt
loads. The result is a gasket, which combines the
benefits of soft, cut materials with the advantages of
seal integrity associated with metallic gaskets.
Expanded graphite is the most common facing material
used for Maxiprofile gaskets. However, other materials can
be used, such as PTFE for chemically aggressive duties or
mica for high temperature duties.
Maxiprofile gaskets can be manufactured from a range
of core materials according to media compatibility and
temperature considerations.

Magnetic Level Gauges
The Klinger magnetic gauge is
designed so that the liquid being
measured is enclosed within a sealed
chamber.
A stainless steel, titanium or
plastic float fitted with a permanent
Omnidirectional magnet moves freely
inside the chamber and actuates the
magnetic wafers within the indicator.
As the float rises or falls with the liquid
level each wafer rotates 180 and so
presents a contrasting colour. Those
wafers above the float show white,
whilst those level and below show red
the indicator then presents a clearly
defined and accurate level of liquid in
the chamber.
Reflex Level Gauges
The Reflex Level gauge, available
in the range ANSI class 150 to
1500, is particularly suitable for gas
liquefaction plants, reactor vessels,
low-pressure boilers and storage
vessels.
The reflex glass allows light to be
absorbed in the liquid space giving
a dark appearance and reflected in
the glass space, thereby providing a
clear indication of the liquid level.

Transparent Level Gauges
The Transparent Level gauge,

AEROSPACE TECHNICAL SERVICES

In addition to using advanced
technology manufacturing
equipment, our aerospace and
defence team works in close liaison
with our clients to ensure their
supply requirements are met to the
highest standards achievable.
Our high precision water-jet profile
cutting facility produces both non-
metallic and metallic components.
Software controlled water-jet tilting jet
technology allows the production of
taper free components.
The cutting kerf angle normally found
with water-jet profiling is moved
completely into the scrap zone,
producing 90 degree cut edges.
Water-jet cutting does not produce
heat affected zones or structural
material changes in the cut edge and
is distortion free.
Our Knife cutting facility features
a robust CNC machine, utilising
drag or oscillating knife cutting
techniques combined with automatic
hole punching, for high accuracy
conversion of gaskets from sheet
material. Flexible vacuum control and
optical projection of cutting plans
create the highest quality products.
Our optical measuring machine is
a non-contact, measuring device
utilising video camera technology.
Non-contact measuring methods
provide control of measure points
and avoid the distortion of surfaces
caused by contact, retaining integrity
and eliminating subjectivity. Klinger
utilises the equipment to provide
first article product information that
is used to perfect the production
process.
Klinger has a vastly experienced
technical team servicing clients
globally from the UK. Technical
services including, conceptual
design servies, CAD and FEA,
gasket integrity and torque
calculations, bespoke sealing
solutions, on site support,
inventory rationalisation and
competency training.
Training and Awarness:
Klinger have established a proud
engineering knowledge based on
sound engineering practises, industry
knowledge and client confidence.
Our material, product and application
understanding has enabled Klinger
to establish our Technical Training
Centre in Bradford.
With the latest testing and training
equipment including our Klinger
Assembly Demonstration Unit
we aim to:
Increase best practice techniquies
and competancy.
Offer interactive, practical and
tailored learning.
Demonstate real-time information
