Palmetto Style 1555 Handy-Pak Graphite Compression Packing Seal 1/4″ x 5ft
The Palmetto Style 1555 Handy-Pak Graphite Compression Packing Seal is engineered for demanding industrial applications, offering exceptional performance in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.
Key Features
- Material Composition: Constructed from pure 99% assay graphite filament, interwoven with a fine graphite particle impregnation, ensuring superior durability and thermal conductivity.
- Temperature Resistance: Capable of withstanding temperatures up to 600°F (315°C) in standard conditions, 1200°F (650°C) in steam, and 800°F (427°C) in oxidizing atmospheres.
- Pressure Tolerance: Designed to handle pressures up to 500 psi in pumps and 3500 psi in valves, making it suitable for severe service applications.
- pH Range: Operates effectively across a broad pH spectrum from 1 to 14, accommodating various fluids except strong oxidizers in the 1–2 pH range.
- Shaft Speed: Supports shaft speeds up to 4000 feet per minute (20.3 meters per second), facilitating efficient performance in dynamic systems.
Applications
This versatile packing seal is ideal for use in rotating and reciprocating shafts, valves, and agitators. It is particularly effective in digesters and chemical pumps, where high performance and reliability are critical.
Additional Benefits
- Lubrication: Incorporates a special solid lubricant that prevents wicking, reducing the coefficient of friction to nearly zero and eliminating fraying.
- Heat Dissipation: Effectively dissipates heat, maintaining a cool stuffing box, which allows for higher shaft speeds and reduced leak-off.
The Palmetto Style 1555 Handy-Pak Graphite Compression Packing Seal is a reliable solution for maintaining optimal performance in challenging industrial settings.
