Braided packing is used to seal gaps and to fill gland space. The compressive force generated by tightening of the gland produces a radial pressure providing the sealing effect. Seventy percent of the wear on the braided packing occurs on the outer two packing’s. The inner three rings do little sealing, and are not required except for the purpose of filling the remaining gland space.
Braided packing is used in both rotating and reciprocating applications. Braided packing is made from various materials in a variety of shapes, sizes and constructs.
