Sepco ML-2225 1/2″ Braided Compression Packing

The GP&S ML-2225 1/2″ Braided Compression Packing is a high-performance sealing material designed for use in industrial applications that require reliable, leak-proof sealing in pumps, valves, and other rotating or reciprocating machinery. This packing is braided for superior strength and flexibility, ensuring an effective seal even under high pressures and extreme temperatures.

Key Features:

• Braided Construction: Manufactured using a durable, multi-strand braided design for enhanced strength and longevity, ensuring superior performance in sealing applications.
• 1/2″ Size: This compression packing is specifically sized with a 1/2″ diameter, making it ideal for use in equipment with corresponding shaft dimensions or stuffing box sizes.
• High-Performance Materials: Often composed of a blend of materials such as PTFE, graphite, and aramid fibers, the ML-2225 packing is designed to withstand a wide range of operational conditions, including high pressure, temperature extremes, and exposure to chemicals.
• Leak Prevention: Provides an excellent barrier against leakage of fluids or gases, protecting your equipment from damage, contamination, or failure due to unwanted leaks.
• Versatile Applications: Ideal for use in various industries, including oil & gas, water treatment, chemical processing, HVAC, and pulp & paper, among others. Suitable for sealing pumps, valves, steam equipment, and more.

Benefits:

• Temperature Resistance: Capable of handling a wide temperature range, from cryogenic conditions to temperatures exceeding 500°F (depending on the material composition).
• Pressure Resistance: Designed to effectively seal under high-pressure conditions, preventing leaks and ensuring system integrity.
• Chemical Resistance: The packing material is resistant to many chemicals, making it suitable for sealing in corrosive environments.
• Durability and Reliability: Built to withstand wear and tear in demanding industrial environments, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacements.

Applications:

• Pumps (centrifugal, reciprocating, diaphragm)
• Valves (control valves, gate valves, globe valves)
• Stuffing Boxes and Rotary Equipment (shaft seals)
• Pressure Equipment (steam or water pumps, mixers)
• Chemical Handling (in industrial chemical processes)

Installation and Maintenance:

The GP&S ML-2225 1/2″ Braided Compression Packing should be installed into stuffing boxes or other sealing chambers in layers, applying the correct compression to ensure a proper seal. Over time, the packing will naturally wear down, and signs of leakage or excessive heat around the sealed components indicate it may need replacement.
