Valve Stem Packing is designed to control fluid or gas leakage along valve stems in industrial valves. Installed inside the valve stuffing box and compressed by the packing gland, it creates a sealing barrier while allowing the valve stem to rotate or move axially during operation.
Valve stem packing is widely used in gate valves, globe valves, control valves and other industrial valves handling water, steam, oils, chemicals and process fluids.
Features & Advantages
Reliable Stem Sealing: Helps reduce external leakage around valve stems under suitable operating conditions.
Multiple Material Options: Available in flexible graphite, PTFE, graphite-impregnated fibers and reinforced packing constructions.
High-Temperature Options: Graphite-based packing is suitable for selected high-temperature steam and process applications.
Chemical Resistance: PTFE packing provides broad resistance to many industrial chemicals.
Adjustable Compression: Gland compression allows sealing contact to be adjusted according to installation and operating requirements.
Standard & Custom Sizes: Available in different cross-sections, packing lengths and preformed ring configurations.
Materials & Construction
Flexible graphite packing is commonly selected for elevated-temperature valve applications, including steam and hydrocarbon service. Reinforced graphite packing may incorporate metal wire or other strengthening elements for improved extrusion resistance under demanding conditions.
PTFE packing provides low friction and chemical resistance for selected industrial valves operating within the material's temperature limits.
Packing can be supplied as braided packing in coils, cut rings or die-formed sealing rings, depending on the valve design and maintenance requirements.
Typical Applications
Gate valves and globe valves
Industrial control valves
Steam and thermal fluid systems
Chemical and petrochemical processing
Power generation equipment
Water treatment and industrial utilities
Valve maintenance and replacement
