FAQs:
  • What makes Kevlar gland packing suitable for abrasive applications?
    Kevlar gland packing offers exceptional abrasion resistance due to its high tensile strength, which is about five times that of steel by weight. This makes it highly resistant to wear from shaft movement and extrusion under pressure, ensuring a longer service life in abrasive services like slurries or fluids with suspended solids.
  • Can Kevlar gland packing handle high-temperature environments?
    Yes, Kevlar gland packing is designed for high-temperature performance, operating continuously at temperatures up to 288°C (550°F) with short-term spikes up to 427°C (800°F). This makes it ideal for applications involving hot water, steam, heat transfer fluids, and other high-temperature processes.
  • Is Kevlar gland packing a safe replacement for asbestos-based packings?
    Absolutely. Kevlar gland packing is a direct and superior replacement for older asbestos-based packings. It is non-toxic, non-sparking for hazardous areas, and offers enhanced strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance without the health risks associated with asbestos.
  • What is the proper break-in procedure for Kevlar gland packing?
    The break-in procedure is critical for optimal performance. After installation, start the equipment and gradually tighten the gland follower in small increments every 10-20 minutes. Allow a slight weep of fluid for cooling and lubrication, and avoid overtightening to prevent excessive friction heat that could damage the packing and shaft.
