Lapping & Polishing Products For Power Plants and Oil & Gas Industries
In the Power Plants and Oil & Gas Industries, the production of precision flat polished surfaces is essential for the proper functioning of components. The process of lapping and polishing ensures that surfaces are smooth, flat and free of any imperfections that could cause issues such as friction or leakages. To achieve this level of precision, advanced lapping and polishing technology is required. Kemet offers Flat Lapping and Polishing Systems that are at the forefront of this technology and when combined with their diamond products, offer the most efficient and reliable method of producing precision flat polished surfaces.
Lapping is a machining process that is used to produce precision flat surfaces on components. It is a low speed, low pressure process that uses abrasive particles to remove material from the surface of the component. The abrasive particles are mixed with a lapping fluid and are spread between the component and the lapping plate. The component is then moved in a circular motion over the plate to produce a flat surface. Polishing is a finishing process that is used to produce a high-quality surface finish on components. It involves using a polishing pad, which is coated with an abrasive material, to remove a small amount of material from the surface of the component. The polishing pad is moved in a circular motion over the surface of the component, gradually producing a smooth and reflective finish.
Kemet Flat Lapping and Polishing Systems are designed to provide the most efficient and reliable method of producing precision flat polished surfaces. The systems are available in a range of sizes and configurations to suit different applications. The basic components of the system include a lapping plate, a conditioning ring, and a slurry delivery system. The lapping plate is made of a material that is flat and has a high degree of surface finish. The conditioning ring is used to maintain the flatness and surface finish of the lapping plate. The slurry delivery system delivers the abrasive particles to the surface of the lapping plate. Kemet Diamond Products are used in conjunction with the Flat Lapping and Polishing Systems to produce precision flat polished surfaces. The diamond abrasive particles are available in a range of sizes and are used to remove material from the surface of the component during the lapping process. The diamond abrasive particles are also used in the polishing process to produce a high-quality surface finish.
Kemet Flat Lapping and Polishing Systems are used in a range of applications in the Power Plants and Oil & Gas Industries. They are used to produce precision flat surfaces on components such as valves, pumps, and bearings. The systems are also used to produce high-quality surface finishes on components such as turbine blades and compressor blades.

Kemet Diamond Compound
Packed in the unique Applikator to prevent wastage, Kemet Diamond Compound is specially formulated for the lapping and polishing of Tool Steels which provides rapid stock removal and superfine finishes.
Kemet Diamond Products
Kemet Diamond Products are available in Standard grade, manufactured with Monocrystalline Diamond Powder, or in our SUPERIOR Premier grade, manufactured with Polycrystalline Diamond Powder. For Kemet Standard and Premier Grades only the highest quality virgin Diamond Powder is used, which must satisfy two important criteria – Shaping and Grading
Kemet Lapping Plate
Kemet composite lapping plates are manufactured from a homogeneous mixture of synthetic resins, metal particles and key bonding/hardening. The plates are designed for Kemet’s advanced lapping technology, perfectly compatible with Kemet Liquid Diamond.
Kemet Pressure Relief Valve Lapping Kit
Incorrect lapping and or the use of improper equipment is a major contributor to seat leakage, which in turn leads to high emission rates and costs in loss of process. Kemet have produced a lapping kit that can be used on Tyco, Crosby, and Anderson Greenwood pressure relief valves.
Kemet Portable Hand Lapping Kits
The use of Kemet Portable Lapping Kits, single or 3 lap, reduce expensive down-time by allowing refurbishment to be carried out ON SITE; components lapped and/or polished by hand in minutes rather than hours. The systems are ideal for components manufactured from ceramics, tungsten carbide, stellite, brass, steel, silicon carbide, Ni-resist etc. Kemet Portable Hand Lapping Kits are also ideally suitable for low volume production, when optimum surface finish is required, and where it is not economical to purchase a lapping or polishing machine
Kemet Flatness Measuring Equipment
Kemet Flatness Gauges - used to monitor a lapping plate’s flatness and to give an indication of the flatness the plate will produce on a given part size. Kemet Monochromic Light and Kemet Optical Flats - The compact design light is easily transportable and uses a sodium long-life light source. It is supplied with a flatness reading interpretation chart.
LarsLap valve grinding system give your valve a fast and efficient maintenance so you can feel safe and comfortable with your valve environment.
