Carbon Fiber Packing

Carbon packing is made up of pure carbon fibres. Carbonized packing is braided by strong carbon fiber after softening treatment and impregnation with the mixture of fine graphite powder, PTFE dispersion and special lubricant. Being strong, Static and heat-conductive it is widely used with revolving of reciprocating pumps where media of chemical corrosion and grains of particles exist.It can withstand continuous temperatures upto 600 c and the working pressure range is 250bar/3500psi.

  • Braided from high-purity carbon fibre yarn
  • Rated to around 600°C — higher than PTFE or ordinary fibre packings
  • Excellent thermal stability and self-lubrication
  • Handles shaft speeds up to 20 m/s with minimal wear
  • Resists the full pH 0–14 range except strong oxidisers

Overview

Carbon Fiber Packing is braided from high-purity carbon yarn, offering excellent thermal stability, strength and self-lubrication with very low shaft wear. It is a strong choice where PTFE would be too soft and graphite too conductive.

It handles temperatures up to around 600°C across the full pH 0–14 range (except strong oxidisers) and shaft speeds to about 20 m/s, making it ideal for hot, high-speed pump and valve duty.

Frequently Asked Questions

How hot can Carbon Fiber Packing get?

Carbon fibre packing is rated for continuous service up to around 600°C — higher than PTFE or ordinary fibre packings.

What shaft speed does Carbon Fiber Packing allow?

It handles high linear shaft speeds up to about 20 m/s while protecting the shaft from wear.

Is Carbon Fiber Packing chemically resistant?

Yes, across the full pH 0–14 range apart from strongly oxidising media.
