Gland Packing for Construction

Properties The Gland Packing Must Possess

\r
• Good anti-friction properties
\r
• Good chemical resistance to fluid contained
\r
• Should not get affected by the temperature of application
\r
• Should be reasonably compressible and have a good resilience
\r
• Should retain the lubricants
\r
• Should not affect the shaft
\r
• Should not contaminate the fluid being contained

Hindustan
composites manufactures a wide range of Gland packing to suit a variety
of applications. They are of both Dry as well as Lubricated types. 
Gland
packing is not an exact science as its performance depends upon many 
variables. The fitment of a packing is an art and results depend largely
on manual skills. The man with wrench therefore can sometimes be a 
dangerous person in your plant responsible for scored rods, excessive 
down time and wasted packing.
Hindustan composites takes great care 
at the construction stage of its gland packing which lead to a better 
performance even under minor imperfections in the plant condition and 
fitment. However certain preparatory precautions, correct procedure of 
fitment, selection of grade and size of the gland packing would help in 
achieving the best results.
