3300GLS:
Low sulfur for nuclear service
3300GLC:
Low chloride for nuclear service
Installation:
-
Check clearances and dimensions
-
Best to use no more than 5 rings in stuffing box (us Sladespacer bushings to reduce rings
-
Cut rings on the bias (45° angle), stagger joints
-
Compress each ring 25% (especially the first ring)
-
Loosen gland to allow it to relax
-
Snug the gland bolts and start the pump
Reinforcement:
Corners and yarns of graphite foil reinforced with high strength structural carbon fiber
Advantages:
- One packing inventory for all pumps and valves
- Works well on worn sleeves
- Difficult to overtighten
- No added lubricants to squeeze out or burn off
- Eliminates flush-water in most applications
- Not necessary to replace entire set, just add ring
- Won’t glaze or harden
- Eliminates most leaks
- Amperage reduction of 15% is typical
- No special end-rings required
- Outlasts typical packings by factor of 6
- 4800 fpm/24 ms (without flush water)
- pH 1-14
- Operates virtually leak-free in most applications
- Low chloride/sulfur available for nuclear service
