Graphite Impregnated Lubricated Glass Gland Packing (VG1L)
Graphite Impregnated Lubricated Glass Gland Packing (VG1L)
- VG1L is an alternative packing for light duties.
- VG1L is inter-braided from continuous filament, textured air-blown glass fibres thoroughly impregnated with mineral oil lubricants and graphite.
- A dressing and corrosion inhibitor is further applied to the yarn to improve wear resistance.
- Type VG1L will handle non-mechanically demanding plant applications whilst requiring low gland pressure to seal thus reducing shaft wear and gland maintenance.
- Specify Type VG1L for general plant service, at elevated temperatures, only if Carbon or Graphite fibres are not required.
- Glass fibres offer exceptional temperature resistance but are relatively low strength.
