About Palmetto 1030AF Series Graphite Impregnated
This Palmetto style 1030AF composite Kynol, aramid, and acrylic packing seal with a graphite-based solid lubricant protects rotating and oscillating equipment, such as pumps and agitators, from fluid leaks in general service applications. The plaited packing seal is made from Palmetto’s proprietary composite material (Quadrasyn) containing Kynol, aramid, and acrylic yarns. Kynol provides the packing with thermal and dimensional stability, and resistance to most chemicals and solvents. Aramid increases the tensile strength of the packing, improving its resistance to abrasion. A graphite-based solid lubricant (Impregloid) helps reduce frictional heat and drag for increased packing life, minimizes packing shrinkage, and requires fewer gland adjustments than liquid lubricants. This packing seal is compatible with media in the pH range of 3-11, has a pressure-velocity (PV) factor of 650,000, a shaft speed of up to 2,000 feet per minute (fpm), and a maximum pressure limit of 200 pounds per square inch (psi) in pumps and 1,800 psi in valves. It operates at temperatures from -400 to 600 degrees F (-240 to 316 degrees C). Style 1030AF is for use in centrifugal pumps, mixers, agitators, and blenders, among others. Specifications pH range 3-11 Pressure limit in pumps 200 psi (14 bar) Pressure limit in valves 1,800 psi (124 bar) PV factor 650,000 Shaft speed 2,000 fpm (10.16 m/s) Temperature range -400 to 600 degrees F (-240 to 316 degrees C)Rope seals provide a pressure seal to help retain fluids and gases in a wide variety of commercial and industrial applications. They have a round, square, or rectangular cross section, and come in various braided designs including braid-over-braid, braid-over-core, laminated, twisted, or interwoven. Rope seals can be manufactured from a single material or a combination of materials that suit specific pressure, temperature, speed, and chemical applications. Some rope seals are impregnated with lubricant and have reinforced cores for improved performance in specific environments, such as extremely high temperatures. They can be used to create a static seal in fixed or slow-moving applications like expansion joints, doors, and valves, or a dynamic seal in equipment with reciprocating, rotating, or oscillating movement like centrifugal pumps, rotating stems, and blowers. Rope seals come in uncut lengths on spools or as precut molded rings. They are used in numerous industries including agriculture, oil and gas, automotive, aerospace, construction, and consumer goods. Palmetto Inc. manufactures packing products for pumps and valves, such as compression packing seals, packing tools, gasket sheets, and fillers. The company, founded in 1872, is headquartered in Denton, MD.
