Flexible Graphite Packing

No.LL-GBP-02
Flexible graphite packing is a pure graphite product refined from natural flaky high-carbon graphite via special chemical and physical treatments. It not only fully retains the excellent properties of natural flaky graphite, but also boasts prominent advantages including flexibility, resilience, corrosion resistance, high pressure resistance, radiation resistance and thermal conductivity.
Made by braiding low-sulfur expanded graphite yarn and reinforced with inner cotton yarn, this material features an extremely low friction coefficient that will not cause wear to pump shafts or valve stems. It also demonstrates excellent thermal conductivity, chemical corrosion resistance and high resilience.

Description

Core Features

  • High-Purity Expanded Graphite: Manufactured from 100% pure expanded graphite foil, braided into a resilient, square cross-section. It contains no binders or fillers that could degrade at high temperatures.

  • Extreme Temperature Tolerance: Maintains exceptional performance from cryogenic temperatures -240℃ up to 650℃ in steam (and up to 450℃ in oxidizing atmospheres).

  • Universal Chemical Resistance: Virtually inert to almost all industrial chemicals and solvents across the pH range of 0-14 (except for strong oxidizers like nitric acid).

  • Reinforcement Options: Available in pure form or reinforced with Inconel wire, Stainless Steel wire, or Carbon fiber for enhanced blowout resistance in high-pressure valve applications.



Technical Advantages

  • Zero Volume Change: Unlike fiber packings, flexible graphite does not shrink or lose weight over time, ensuring the seal remains tight without constant gland adjustments.

  • Superior Thermal Conductivity: Efficiently transfers heat away from the stuffing box, preventing localized overheating and extending the life of both the packing and the equipment.

  • Low Friction & High Lubricity: The self-lubricating properties of graphite ensure low stem torque, reducing wear on valve stems and pump shafts.

  • Non-Aging & Non-Brittle: Does not become brittle or lose its elasticity even after years of service in high-heat environments, making it ideal for critical safety valves.



Common Applications

1)High-Pressure Steam Valves
The industry standard for sealing main steam lines, control valves, and bypass valves in power plants.

2)Refineries & Petrochemicals
Sealing for heat exchangers, agitators, and reactors handling aggressive hydrocarbons and thermal oils.

3)Pulp & Paper
 Ideal for high-temperature liquor pumps and chemical recovery systems.

4)Soot Blowers
Capable of withstanding the mechanical stress and thermal shocks inherent in soot blowing operations.
