API 622 Packing GR8622

Composition

Pure expanded mineral graphite 

Reinforcement in nickel-alloy and impregnation with special graphite-based compounds.

Characteristics

The graphite seal ring gasket for valves GR8622 is characterized by the use of pure expanded mineral graphite, which ensures high sealing performance. Thanks to its Low Emission API std 622 3rd Edition certification, this packing is particularly suitable for applications where low gas emissions into the environment are required. The GR8622 is able to maintain its elastic properties and sealing performance over time, without the need for re-tightening. The yarn used offers very low weight loss during high-temperature operation and a low coefficient of friction, making it suitable for applications that require high slipperiness. In addition, the GR8622 gasket is able to withstand high pressures and extreme temperatures, ensuring reliable and long-lasting sealing.

Applications

GR8622 is a specially designed packing for industrial valves used in low emissions service, also suitable for those with H.P./H.T. service. Made of pure expanded mineral graphite, this graphite packing ring for valve sealing is certified Low Emission API std 622 3rd Edition and maintains its elastic properties and sealing performance over time without the need for re-tightening. Additionally, the yarn provides a very low weight loss at high temperatures and offers a low coefficient of friction, ensuring high performance and reliability in industrial use.
