APG stocks the 13CGT015X250X50, a Crinkled Graphite Ta Compression Packing supplied with a 1/64 inch square cross section. A compression packing is cut into rings and stacked in a stuffing box, then compressed by the gland to seal a rotating or reciprocating shaft. Source specification: Crinkled Graphite Tape.
Crinkled Graphite Ta is specified here for no aging, hardening or embrittlement over time, excellent thermal conductivity and fire resistance. Expect good resistance to thermal shock, fire exposure, and most chemicals across the pH range. It is not the right choice where highly oxidizing service above rated temperature or strong oxidizing acids are present.
Common environments for this compound include exhaust and flue gas, power generation, and steam and heat transfer systems.
Stocked as 13CGT015X250X50 and sold by the roll. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation. For a size or compound outside the standard catalog, APG can quote from a print or sample.
