Teflon braided packing ousts asbestos
Flojet-PT is 100% pure Teflon (PTFE) fibre braided packing for steam, gases, air, oils, solvents, alkalies, acids and viscous fluids.
The pure graphite gland packing is manufactured from yarns supplied by world renowned manufacturers.
This graphite yarn is standard coated yarn composed of continuous black filaments at least 99.5% carbon.
This graphite viscous rayon is the ultimate material for special duty application involving sustained temperature conditions in vicinity of 600C.
Satisfying the most demanding specification criteria in nuclear power generation, food processing and similar applications where chemical inertness and material purity and fundamental requirements, graphite rayon is nonabrasive and combines low frictional properties with the inherent lubricity necessary for the toleration of high shaft speeds.
Flojet-PG braided packing is diagonally woven, which permits a tight adjustment making leakage almost non-existent yet assure maximum protection against shaft scouring.
Other specifications include a pH range from 0 to14, surface speed up to 20m/s and pressure up to 5000lb/in2.
Available in square sections with sizes from 3 to 30mm, the packing can be supplied on spools to customer requirements.
Cut rings fitting specific requirements can also be produced and supplied on short lead times.
In addition, for cost-sensitive applications, graphite yarns can be braided in combination with pure carbon.
