Description
Carbon yarn gland packing is a braided material made of carbon yarns that is used to seal valves and pumps. It is often used in high-temperature and high-pressure applications, such as in power plants, oil refineries, and boiler industries.
How it works
- Carbon yarn gland packing is made from carbon yarns that are braided together.
- The yarns are often impregnated with graphite particles and lubricants to help stop leakage.
- The packing is sometimes reinforced with nickel inconel wire to increase its mechanical strength.
What it’s used for
- Carbon yarn gland packing can be used to seal valves and pumps that handle steam, water, acids, and alkalis.
- It can be used in high-temperature motor-actuated valves and steam turbines.
What are its properties?
- Carbon yarn gland packing is resistant to corrosion and abrasion.
- It has excellent thermal stability and strength.
- It is inert to most corrosive chemicals.
- It has a positive temperature coefficient of strength, meaning it gets stronger as the temperature increases
Properties
- Thermal conductivity: Carbon yarn gland packing has excellent thermal conductivity.
- Chemical resistance: Carbon yarn gland packing is resistant to many chemicals, but not strong oxidizing agents.
- Strength: Carbon yarn gland packing is strong and resistant to extrusion.
- Temperature resistance: Carbon yarn gland packing can withstand high temperatures.
- Pressure resistance: Carbon yarn gland packing can withstand high pressures.
- Lubrication: Carbon yarn gland packing can be impregnated with lubricants to improve its self-lubrication.
Applications
- Carbon yarn gland packing is used in pumps and valves in power plants, oil refineries, and boiler industries.
- It can handle steam, water, acids, and alkalis.
- It can be used in high temperature and high pressure applications
