- Compression packing seal protects pumps and valves from fluid leaks in static and dynamic applications
- Flexible graphite yarn resists high temperatures and dissipates frictional heat away from the shaft, enabling high shaft speeds and reducing leakage
- Anti-corrosion additive reduces the chance of pitting
- Maximum pressure limit of 2,500 psi in valves; 125 psi in pumps
- Operating temperatures range from -400 degrees F up to 6,000 degrees F, depending on the environment

This Palmetto style 5000 flexible graphite compression packing seal with an
anti-corrosion additive protects pumps and valves from fluid leaks in static
and dynamic applications. The braided packing seal is made of pure expanded
flexible graphite braided yarn (Flexi-Braid) for high shaft speeds, a low
coefficient of friction in both low and high temperatures, and resistance to
harsh chemicals and high temperatures. It transfers heat away from the shaft
to prevent glazing and scoring, reducing leakage and extending the packing and
sleeve life. It is resilient and conforms to surfaces when compressed to
improve sealing. Flexible graphite resists breaking down in use; it becomes
denser with each gland follower adjustment. An anti-corrosion ingredient is
added to the packing to reduce the chance of pitting. The packing is nontoxic
in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA)
maximum concentration of contaminants list.
This packing seal is compatible with media in the pH range of 0-14, except
fuming nitric acid, aqua regia, and oleum. It has a maximum pressure limit of
2,500 pounds per square inch (psi) in valves and 125 psi in pumps. It operates
at temperatures from -400 degrees F up to 1,200 degrees F in steam, 850
degrees F in oxidizing atmospheres, and 6,000 degrees F in non-oxidizing
atmospheres. Style 5000 is suitable for use with low-pressure steam valves and
pumps, boiler feed pumps, expansion joints, and high-temperature groove
packing, among others.

Rope seals provide a pressure seal to help retain fluids and gases in a wide
variety of commercial and industrial applications. They have a round, square,
or rectangular cross section, and come in various braided designs including
braid-over-braid, braid-over-core, laminated, twisted, or interwoven. Rope
seals can be manufactured from a single material or a combination of materials
that suit specific pressure, temperature, speed, and chemical applications.
Some rope seals are impregnated with lubricant and have reinforced cores for
improved performance in specific environments, such as extremely high
temperatures. They can be used to create a static seal in fixed or slow-moving
applications like expansion joints, doors, and valves, or a dynamic seal in
equipment with reciprocating, rotating, or oscillating movement like
centrifugal pumps, rotating stems, and blowers. Rope seals come in uncut
lengths on spools or as precut molded rings. They are used in numerous
industries including agriculture, oil and gas, automotive, aerospace,
construction, and consumer goods.
Palmetto Inc. manufactures packing products for pumps and valves, such as
compression packing seals, packing tools, gasket sheets, and fillers. The
company, founded in 1872, is headquartered in Denton, MD.
