Graphite Impregnated Carbon Gland Packing (VG4)
Graphite Impregnated Carbon Gland Packing (VG4)
- Type VG4 is a 100% pure Graphite packing which is capable of near universal application.
- VG4 is interbraided from pure Graphite yarn impregnated fibre by fibre with pure Graphite powder.
- The Graphite powder increases the natural sealing effect of the Graphite yarns and acts as a surface lubricant top produce a virtually non-scoring packing.
- Graphite fibre is superior to any other yarn in the degree to which it combines outstanding packing properties, namely; excellent thermal conduction, smooth running, near universal chemical resistance and extreme temperature capability.
- The use of Type VG4 pure Graphite fibre packing provides opportunity to extend the use of the packed gland into extreme areas of speed, temperature and chemical resistance.
- In more normal applications, the quality of Type VG4 will result in maintenance savings many times in excess of the actual packing cost.
