# Sealing packings

Graphite packings for dynamic and static sealing in valves, pumps, and flanges.

Family: Sealing applications

## Processes
- Stem sealing
- Flange sealing

## Challenges
- Stuffing-box leaks
- Hardening of conventional packings
- Elevated temperature

## Advantages
- Wide thermal range
- Good sealability
- Low friction in dynamic service

## Limitations
- Does not replace metals in high-load structural seals without proper design
- Oxidation in air at high temperature
- Chemical compatibility of the medium
