Made from glass fibers woven into a tightly meshed cloth, impregnated with a high heat-resistant compound, and formed into packing sections with rubber cushion backing. Easy to cut into rings and install. | Wrapped woven cloth | For all purposes where steam temperatures do not exceed +500°F. Its main uses are against steam, air, and hot gases on reciprocating rods of steam engines, air compressors, expansion joints, and valve stems. | +500°F | ||||
High pressure packing having a rubber core rather than a rubber cushion backing. Easy to cut in to rings and install. Rubber core gives more recovery on pressure surges. | Wrapped woven cloth over core | For all purposes where steam temperatures do not exceed +500°F. Its main uses are against steam, air, and hot gases on reciprocating rods of steam engines, air compressors, expansion joints, and valve stems. | +500°F |
