Graphite has extremely high chemical and thermal resistance and good thermal conductance – on a level of most metals. Therefore Grafopak graphite packings are totally resistant of thermal shocks and a risk of a seal overheating.
Gland packing Grafopak GRA 450
Features and advantages
The high thermal resistance and very good thermal conductivity of graphite ensure the high pV dynamic load factor. Thanks to this, Grafopak GRA packing is resistant to thermal shocks or risks of stuffing box overheating. In addition, graphite guarantees excellent lubricating properties keeps low friction in all conditions, even without the loud lubricating film also after other lubricating agents are dried out.
Areas of application
Grafopak GRA 450 graphite packing is perfect sealing for centrifugal pumps for water, chemicals and petroleum products, especially for high speed shat pumps. But is not recommended for strong oxidants, abrasive abo contaminated with sold particles media. GA packing requires good conditions of the stuffing box and precise montage technique, the use of special tools and extractors is recommended too.
