APG stocks the 11760437-01, a Carbon Fiber with Graphite Packing Compression Packing supplied with a 7/16 inch square cross section. A compression packing is cut into rings and stacked in a stuffing box, then compressed by the gland to seal a rotating or reciprocating shaft. This item is further identified as 1 LB. Box - Approx. 12 FT.
It resists very high temperature, thermal shock, and fire exposure. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Carbon Fiber with Graphite Packing is widely chosen for conformability that seals imperfect flange faces and near-zero creep relaxation under load. It is not the right choice where strong oxidizing acids or highly oxidizing service above rated temperature are present.
Common environments for this compound include high-temperature process piping, exhaust and flue gas, and refining.
Stocked as 11760437-01 and sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 1 lb. Confirm chemical compatibility, pressure and temperature against your own application requirements before installing. If you need a size, durometer or compound that is not listed, APG can cross-reference from a print, a sample or a competitor part number.
