About Flexible Graphite Pump Packing

Flexible Graphite Pump Packing

Flexible Graphite Pump Packing is manufactured using expanded graphite yarns. These yarns have low chloride content and are enveloped with Inconel wires and a graphite-based coating. This packing is built to give you high performance in the most extreme environments. It has corrosion inhibitors that help protect the valve stem and against chemical wear and degradation. The specialized structure withstands high pressure and provides a frictionless seal to lower wear on the pump or valve stem, therefore prolongs the service life of the packing and all other components surrounding it. Packing is also self lubricating, as The self-lubricating actions offer excellent gliding properties that show excellent, maintenance-free operations even with fluctuating pressures and temperatures.

It has excellent chemical resistance, tolerating almost all corrosive substances except strong oxidizers, and not as much thermal resistance or conductivity as Teflon or certain elastomers, but offers outstanding thermal conductivity and resiliency for high temperature, high pressure applications across the widest range of industrial environments. Flexible graphite packing can offer a dependable sealing solution for your specific needs, whether it be in pumps or valves, and meets the myriad demands of the power, process, and petrochemical industries.

Key Characteristics and Uses:

• Low emission packing for use in oxygen service.
• Self-lubricating with smooth, low-friction performance.
• Reinforced with Inconel for strength and durability.
• Excellent resistance to all temperature and pressure variations.
• Chemically resistant, except for strong oxidizers.
• Corrosion inhibitors protect the stuffing box and valve stem.
• Ideal for pumps and valves in harsh industrial service.
• Often used in petrochemical, power, process plants, refiners, and boilers.
