Graphite Impregnated Carbon Gland Packing (VR1)
Graphite Impregnated Carbon Gland Packing (VR1)
- Grafan material is essentially pure carbon in Graphite form processed into flexible foil material without any fillers, binders or other additives.
- The product is selflubricating, dimensionally stable, impervious to gases and fluids, and shows exceptional temperature and chemical resistance.
- Grafan offers unrivalled sealing capabilities under extreme temperature, media and pressure conditions giving extended packing life.
- Graphite in this form is self-lubricating with a low coefficient of friction (comparable to Teflon), high thermal conductivity and permanent volumetric elasticity (spring back) which results in no volume reduction (compression set) in use.
- Resilient with ideal fluid and gas sealing characteristics and extreme capabilities, Grafan offers the ultimate range and performance in a packing material.
- Type VR1 is a crimped Grafan ribbon Tape, available from 6mm to 75mm wide, for in-situ packing of valve stems and then it is easily compressed into a uniform packing ring.
- Using this system, a small tape inventory can pack any size of gland with superior service results.
