## Description

Braided graphite packing offers thermal, chemical and mechanical resistance for sealing in valves, pumps and rotating equipment.

## Variants

- **Standard braid** — braided flexible graphite; square or rectangular cross-section per stuffing box.
- **With metal insert** — internal reinforcement (wire or tape) for higher mechanical resistance in high-pressure or high-speed rotating equipment.

Specify on quote if insert, impregnation or auxiliary lubrication is required.

## Information for quoting

Provide cross-section, required impregnation or lubrication, fluid, temperature, pressure and operating speed.
