Ordered as 13CGT015X750X50, this is a Crinkled Graphite Ta Compression Packing supplied with a 1/64 inch square cross section. The compression packing offers the most economical repairable shaft seal for pumps and valves. Supplementary detail from the product record: Crinkled Graphite Tape.
The compound resists steam, very high temperature, and thermal shock. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Crinkled Graphite Ta is specified for exceptional temperature capability well beyond elastomeric materials and conformability that seals imperfect flange faces. Verify compatibility before use with strong oxidizing acids or highly oxidizing service above rated temperature.
It sees regular use in steam and heat transfer systems, power generation, and high-temperature process piping.
This item is sold by the roll under part number 13CGT015X750X50. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application.
