Product Description
Gland Rope Braided and Reinforced with S.S Wire
Physical Property: Braided Graphite packing made from exfoliated Graphite yarn having corrosion inhibitor property and a proprietary lubricant, reinforced with stainless steel / Inconel wire to serve extreme high temperature and high pressure for static application. It has low co-efficient of friction and excellent thermal conductivity. Application: Recommended for valve stuffing boxes that handle super-heated steam.
Service Parameter:
| Temperature: 650°C | pH range: 0-14 |
| Shaft speed: 20m/s | Pressure: max 350 kg/cm2 |
Engineered for High-Pressure Sealing ApplicationsThis gland rope features continuous stainless steel wire reinforcement throughout the braid, combined with premium asbestos fiber yarn. Special lubricants and optional graphite impregnation enhance its sealing efficiency, providing reliable operation in thermal plants, refineries, and general industrial use-all while withstanding harsh temperatures, pressure, and chemical agents.
Customizable and Versatile Packaging OptionsAvailable in thicknesses from 10 mm to 50 mm and customized lengths, the gland rope can be supplied on spools, in coils, or as per specific requirements. Its adaptable packaging makes it convenient for a wide range of industrial sealing needs, ensuring users receive a product tailored to their operational environment.
FAQ's of Gland Rope Braided and Reinforced with S.S wire:
Q: How does stainless steel reinforcement benefit the gland rope's performance?
A: The continuous stainless steel (S.S) wire provides robust mechanical strength and improved durability, ensuring the rope remains dimensionally stable under compression, high pressure, and intense thermal conditions.
Q: What makes this gland rope suitable for thermal and industrial plant use?
A: Its high-grade asbestos fiber yarn, impregnation with special lubricants and graphite, and S.S wire reinforcement offer excellent resistance to high temperatures (up to 450C), pressures (up to 250 bar), steam, hot water, gas, mild acids, and alkalis, making it ideal for demanding environments.
Q: When should I use this gland rope instead of conventional packing materials?
A: Use this gland rope when high temperature and pressure resistance, low elongation, dimensional stability, and strength are essential-particularly in pumps, valves, and equipment subjected to demanding thermal and chemical pressures.
Q: Where can the gland rope be applied within industrial operations?
A: It is primarily suited for sealing applications in pumps and valves found in thermal power plants, process industries, chemical plants, and refineries.
Q: What is the process for installing this gland rope in sealing equipment?
A: Measure and cut the required length, then wrap the gland rope evenly around the shaft or stem of the component. Ensure the rope fits snugly and that multiple rings are added if necessary to achieve optimal sealing efficiency.
Q: What are the benefits of using special lubricants and graphite as impregnation?
A: Special lubricants minimize friction and wear, while graphite (if used) enhances heat dissipation and chemical resistance, prolonging the life and reliability of the packing under harsh operating conditions.
