Carbon Graphite Seals & Steam Joints
Carbon Graphite Seals & Steam Joints
Carbon Graphite is an ideal seal material in every aspect. It is self-lapping and flexible enough to conform to the mating face, very hard, self-lubricating and resistant to wear. It is also lubricated by almost any fluid, so the media being sealed will add additional lubrication. It is impervious and resistant to most chemicals.
Advantages of Carbon Graphite Seals & Steam Joints
Self-lubricating
One of the biggest advantages of using a carbon graphite seal or steam joint is its ability to self-lubricate, which eliminates the need for oils or greases that may fail in demanding environments.
Thermal Shock Resistance
Carbon graphite steam joints and seals provide resilience to rapid temperature changes.
Chemical Resistance
These seals and steam joints maintain performance in aggressive media and harsh industrial environments.
Dimensional Stability Under Wide Temperature Variations
Carbon graphite seals and steam joints are dimensionally stable due to their low coefficient of thermal expansion.
Impervious/Leak Proof
Carbon graphite segmented rings with resin impregnation ensures the ring is impervious.
Typical Applications for Seals & Steam Joints
- Seals for pumps, agitators and mixers
- Textile industry
- Steam joints
Seals & Steam Joints That Last
Thanks to their versatility and dependability, carbon graphite seals and steam joints continue to be a preferred choice across industries requiring precision, safety, and long-lasting performance.
