Premium Braided Mechanical Packing
Style 317
Premium Quality
SWEET SPOT & BEST USES:
High RPM, High Temperature Rotary Shafts like Low Solid Slurry Pumps, Condensate Pumps, and Agitators. Power generation applications.
Carbon Fiber, 96% pure
Construction
Made of carbon yarn having a minimum purity of 96%. SealRyt® cross-lock braid structure is impregnated with a dispersion containing very fine graphite particles. The finished packing is then surface lubricated with proprietary, high quality, sacrificial break-in lubricant.
Characteristics
- An anti-friction packing with easy break-in provided by the added lubricant.
- Higher purity percentage yields higher mechanical strength in the carbon family.
- High elasticity springs back to its original shape after stress
Applications
Especially useful on high-speed shafts where break-in adjustment is difficult.
Base Materials
- Carbon
