Palmetto Packings 1555 Graphite Filament Packing Interwoven

Palmetto Packings 1555 Graphite Filament Packing Interwoven

The Palmetto Packings 1555 Graphite Filament Packing Interwoven is a high-performance sealing solution designed for demanding industrial applications. Constructed from pure 99% assay graphite filament, this packing is impregnated with fine graphite particles and features an Interwoven™ braid construction, ensuring exceptional durability and sealing efficiency.

Key Features

• Material Composition: Made from pure 99% assay graphite filament with fine graphite particle impregnation, providing superior thermal conductivity and chemical resistance.
• Construction: Utilizes an Interwoven™ braid design, enhancing structural integrity and preventing fraying during operation.
• Temperature Range: Capable of withstanding temperatures up to 600ºF (315ºC), making it suitable for high-temperature environments.
• pH Compatibility: Operates effectively across a broad pH range of 1 to 14, accommodating various fluids except strong oxidizers in the 1–2 pH range, such as oleum, fluorine, fuming nitric acid, and aqua regia.
• Pressure Tolerance: Handles pressures up to 500 psi in pumps and 3,500 psi in valves, ensuring reliable performance under high-pressure conditions.
• Shaft Speed: Supports shaft speeds up to 4,000 feet per minute (20.3 meters per second), suitable for high-speed rotating equipment.

Performance Benefits

• Enhanced Lubrication: Incorporates a special solid lubricant that prevents wicking, reducing the coefficient of friction to nearly zero and eliminating fraying.
• Efficient Heat Dissipation: Effectively dissipates heat, maintaining a cool stuffing box, allowing for higher shaft speeds, and permitting lower leak-off rates.

Typical Applications

The 1555 Graphite Filament Packing is ideal for severe service applications and can be effectively used on all rotating and reciprocating shafts, valves, and agitators. It is particularly effective in digesters and chemical pumps, where high temperatures and aggressive chemicals are present.
