Palmetto Packing PE1000 packing seal or gland seal is designed to seal a variety of fluids. It is used to contain solvents, gases, water, acids, oil and other chemicals that are subdued to different pressures and temperatures.
Features:
- Palmetto PE1000 compression packing seal is used to secure dynamic equipment from fluid leaks in high-pressure and abrasive slurry applications.
- This interwoven braided packing seal is made from Zenar (Palmetto's patented material) comprising Aramid and a coating of ultra-pure graphite particles & polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to provide abrasion resistance, high tensile strength and thermal conductivity.
- It comes with an inert lubricant that improves packing life by decreasing break-in time and frictional heat.
- This compression packing seal operates at a temperature range of -400 to 550 degrees F.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How does the packing seal operate?
A. Packing seals fill in space and reduce fluid loss by wrapping rope-like materials around a pump's shaft.
Q. Why is compression packing used?
A. Compression packing is produced from various packing fibres. It eliminates leakage and improves the life of rotating equipment like pumps and valves.
Q. Where is gland packing employed?
A. Gland packing is used frequently for the sealing and preventing leakage of working fluid along the stem in valves and the shaft in pumps.
