APG stocks the 13CGTA015X500X50, a Crinkled Graphite Ta Compression Packing supplied with a 1/64 inch square cross section. A compression packing provides field-serviceable shaft sealing that can be adjusted and topped up without disassembling the pump. Supplementary detail from the product record: Crinkled Graphite Tape W/psa.
Expect good resistance to fire exposure, steam, and thermal shock. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Crinkled Graphite Ta is specified for near-zero creep relaxation under load and exceptional temperature capability well beyond elastomeric materials. Exposure to highly oxidizing service above rated temperature or strong oxidizing acids will shorten service life.
Common environments for this compound include steam and heat transfer systems, power generation, and high-temperature process piping.
This item is sold by the roll under part number 13CGTA015X500X50. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation.
