GFS General Service Packing is designed and manufactured to work across a wide range of dynamic rotary and reciprocating sealing environments. Materials below contain a variety of patented fiber-infused PTFE yarns with graphite, other impregnated fillers.
These materials offer greater strength with fewer braid unraveling problems, and long life in abrasive situations. Surface lubricant allows for easier run-in, and a reduction in shaft and sleeve wear lowers operational costs. Most importantly versatile, multi-use packing means lower inventory stocking costs.
Check out the 6 different types of general service compression packing to see which is most applicable to your application.
GFS GS-360 Braided Packing
Braided from continuous Acrylic blended fiber, Style GS-360 is impregnated with PTFE and a proprietary inert lubricant. GS-360 packing is also non-staining and non-contaminating with excellent heat dissipation properties.
Recommended Applications
- Centrifugal Pumps
- Rotary
- Reciprocating Pumps
- Valve Service
Performance
- Max Temperature (F) 500°
- Max Rotary Pump Pressure (PSI) 500
- Max Rotary Pump Speed (fpm) 2500
GFS GS-320 Braided Packing
Braided from continuous Acrylic blended fiber, Style GS-320 is impregnated with our proprietary high temperature lubricant, and pre and post lubricated with high purity graphite flake. Our unique lubrication process insures a dense but flexible general service packing.
Recommended Applications
- Steam
- Water
- Oil
- Mild acid or alkali
Performance
- Max Temperature (F) 500°
- Max Rotary Pump Pressure (PSI) 300
- Max Rotary Pump Speed (fpm) 1500
