EGW: Graphite packing on cotton pilot

Operating conditions:   centrifugal pumps piston pumps valves Carbon content [%] 98,9 Compression [%] >15 Density 1,15 to 1,35 g/cm3 P [bar] 40 - 200 T °C (max.) +450 (in non oxygen ambience - up to 2500 °C) v [m/sec] 40 - 2

Characteristics: Packing from yarn from exfoliated pure graphite (carbon content, above 98%), led on a cotton rope. Exfoliated graphite, due to its thermal and chemical resistance, self-spreadable properties and good thermal conductivity is perfect for high-temperature braided packing. Substituting Inconel reinforcement with a cotton rope lowers mechanical parameters at hightemperatures but, as a result, the packing fits more softly into the stuffing box and has alower friction coefficient. The version with the symbol EGW/I is additionally enriched with a high quality corrosion inhibitor. Applications: Graphite packing is used in rotor pumps, working with high speed up to 25 m/s, mainly in the chemical and power industries: - for chemically aggressive agent pumps in the power industry, - sealing high-temperature pumps feeding boilers in the petrochemical industry Sizes: Sections from 4x4 mm to 50х50 mm Packaging: for sizes from 4 х 4 to 10 х 10 - 1 kg from 12 х 12 to 20 х 20 - 3 kg from 22 х 22 to 30 х 30 - 5 kg from 32 х 32 and larger - 10 kg Technical data sheet
