Overview
The graphite packing ring set 268793 delivers proven sealing performance in pump and hydraulic system applications. Flexible graphite packing is engineered to form effective shaft seals that minimize leakage while reducing friction and heat generation in rotating equipment.
Key Features
- Flexible graphite construction for compressible, conformable sealing
- Suitable for both static and dynamic sealing applications
- Low-friction design reduces power loss and heat buildup
- Chemical-resistant graphite material handles diverse fluid environments
- Multiple ring set for complete stuffing box pack-out
Technical Specifications
The 268793 packing set includes multiple graphite packing rings optimized for standard pump shaft diameters and stuffing box configurations. Flexible graphite material provides density and compression characteristics suitable for dynamic sealing under moderate pressure conditions.
Typical Applications
- Centrifugal and rotodynamic pump shaft seals
- Hydraulic system stuffing box packing
- Valve stem and rod sealing
- Industrial fluid machinery maintenance and repair
- OEM replacement and field service applications
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
