Flexible Graphite With Inconel Wire Gland Packing

Description

Flexible graphite inconel wire gland packing is a type of packing material made from graphite and Inconel wire that’s used to seal valves, pumps, and other equipment. It’s often used in high temperature and high pressure applications. 

How it works:

• The graphite is flexible and woven into yarn. 
• The yarn is braided with Inconel wire for strength and thermal stability. 
• The packing is designed to be resistant to chemicals, heat, and corrosion. 

Benefits:

• Low friction: The packing has a low coefficient of friction and won’t damage shafts. 
• Thermal resistance: The packing is resistant to high temperatures and can be used in high pressure applications. 
• Chemical resistance: The packing can withstand most acids, alkalis, and solvents. 
• Easy to install: The packing can be supplied in standard sizes and lengths. 

Applications: 

pumps, valves, mixers, agitators, steam turbines, and high temperature motor-actuated valves.

Properties 

• Thermal stability: Withstands high temperatures without losing its sealing ability
• Chemical resistance: Resistant to acids, alkalis, and organic solvents
• Low friction: The inconel wire reduces friction between the packing and the shaft
• High resilience: The inconel wire reinforcement gives the packing mechanical resilience
• Heat conductivity: Has excellent heat conductivity
• Low coefficient of thermal expansion: Similar to steel
• High electrical conductivity: Conducts electricity well

Applications high-temperature and high-pressure valves, heat transfer oil valves, soot blower air valves, steam turbines, and high temperature motor-actuated valves. 

Materials pure homogenous graphite, inconel wire, and carbon fiber yarns.
