Their products will generate the greatest return on initial investment in terms of leakage control, service life, dependability and cost effectiveness. They also provide expertise with highly knowledgeable application engineering support.
Material Selection
The proper selection of packing materials is dependent on the operating conditions of the equipment. Six parameters of the equipment must be determined before a proper packing recommendation can be made. The acronym “STAMPS” is commonly used to designate these parameters:
S = Size — cross section
T = Temperature — of media being sealed
A = Application — type of equipment (i.e., pumps,
valves, mixers, etc.)
M = Media — material being sealed
P = Pressure — of media being sealed
S = Speed — shaft speed in fpm (pumps only)
