Style 515 is the one packing that is nearly universal. Corner reinforcement with the highest purity continuous filament graphite yarn provides extrusion resistance when clearances are excessive.

Except where strong oxidizers must be sealed or color is a concern, Style 515 out-performs virtually all other packings.

The high purity of style 515 provides rapid heat dissipation in rotating service, while its conformability reduces inter-ring product entrapment in valves.

·        pH 0 – 14 except in strong oxidizers.
·        Surfaces Speed up to 30M/sec.
·        Pressure up to 350 bar.
·       Temperature: Steam and mild oxidizers 1000° C, Non Oxidizing Fluids 3000° C.
