Gland Packings
The Gland Packing or Compression Packing are a popular way of solving dynamic sealing constructions in a mechanical equipment and are designed to meet all industrial sealing requirements.
This type of seal damps leakage between the moving part and the housing and is essential for the efficiency of mixers, pumps, valves, and other industrial equipment in rotary motion
More about gland packings
Gland Packings is usually made from relatively soft, pliant materials that meets the following five main criteria for the selection of packing:
- Chemical resistance / pH level
- Shaft linear speed
- Pressure in the flow system
- Medium temperature
- Heat resistence
They seal all types of fluids including acids, steam, water, caustics, solvents, gases, oil, gasoline, and other chemicals over a broad range of temperature and pressure conditions. Gland packeings are used in rotary, centrifugal, and reciprocating pumps, valves, expansion joints, soot blowers,
and many other types of mechanical equipment.
Widest Range of MaterialsM Seals offers an extensive range of Gland Packing types with a vast variety of materials and constructions to suit a wide range of industry applications.
Even though they are relatively easy to install and maintain, to make installation easier and reduce maintenance time, we can also offer custom pre-formed Gland Packing rings to suit specific dimensional and application requirements.
