Gland packing JIC 3075 CHF-RC
is a compression packing made of carbon fiber yarns that are square-braided and impregnated with PTFE dispersion and a special lubricant. The "CHF-RC" designation indicates it includes an additional rubber core (RC) for enhanced flexibility.
Key Specifications and Features
- Material: Carbon fiber yarns (carbon content > 99%) impregnated with PTFE dispersion and lubricant.
- Construction: Square-braided with a rubber cord (RC) inner core.
- Properties: Excellent heat, chemical, and friction resistance.
- pH Range: 1 - 14 (suitable for a wide range of corrosive fluids, acids, and alkalis).
- Maximum Temperature: Up to approximately 450 °C.
- Maximum Pressure: Up to approximately 20 kgf/cm².
- Shaft Speed: Suitable for general mechanical packing with low linear velocity, up to around 18 m/s.
- Motion: Designed for rotary, reciprocating, and valve applications.
Applications
The JIC 3075 CHF-RC gland packing is a versatile industrial sealing solution used in various applications to prevent fluid leakage in equipment like pumps, valves, agitators, and mixers.
Suitable media include:
- Corrosive fluids
- Organic solvents
- Steam and hot water
- Hydrocarbons and oils
- Acids and alkalis
- Gases
Function of the Rubber Core (RC)
The additional rubber core provides a comparative advantage by enhancing the packing's flexibility, making it more adaptable to low-speed mechanical applications and better at handling shaft vibration compared to standard packings without the core.
