Garlock Introduces

Expandable Packing-

Literature Available

A four-page, illustrated Bulle- tin 135, just issued by Garlock

Inc., presents a new style 9000 expandable valve stem packing (EVSP) set designed to prevent the escape of gases or liquids from within the system, and to reduce packing inventory require- ments.

Expanded views of standard and miniature designs show that the EVSP set construction incor- porates three major chemically inert components—-aluminum spacer rings, carbon fiber wiper ' sealing rings, and pure graphite sealing rings having a unique se- lective compressibility.

A detailed drawing shows how

EVSP elements expand radially on gland tightening to make a tight seal against both stuffing box I.D. and valve stem O.D. This characteristic is said to compen- sate for dimensional variations caused by valve wear or main- tenance machining. It also per- mits use of one set to cover a multitude of valve sizes. The 48 nominal set sizes listed in the bulletin are claimed to work in virtually hundreds of different valves.
