Superior V-Packing Seals
Sometimes, the job may call for simple V-Packing Seals – a male and female adapter supported by a number of intermediate rings determined by the system pressure. No matter your need, you’ll always have the full support of GBSA’s engineers and professionals to help ensure you’re operating to your full potential.
The flexibility of V-Packing allows sealing in a wide range of pressures for nearly any condition. V-Packing consists of a male and female adaptor with any number of intermediate rings depending on the system’s operating pressure.
V-Packing is designed with mating surfaces that provide a “space” between rings. The fabric reinforced space serves as a lubrication reservoir that helps retard nesting and allows all the rings to calm themselves between cycles.
V-Packing Materials
V-Packing is available for low, medium and high pressures for industrial and chemical use. Packing is available in standard elastomers, Nitrile, neoprene fluorocarbon and silicone. Male and female adaptors can be supplied in nylon material for excursion resistance.
- 80 Durometer Homogeneous Nitrile (HN)
- Cotton Re-enforced Nitrile (FN)
- 80 Durometer Homogeneous Fluorocarbon (HV)
- Cotton Re-enforced Fluorocarbon (FV)
All rings can be supplied in other materials and custom set heights can be supplied when requested.
V-Packing Intermediate Rings
GBSA V-Packing consist of one male and one female adapter and a number of intermediate rings. The number of intermediate rings is determined by the system pressure, according to the following chart.
| System Pressure |
No. of Intermediates
|
| 0-500 PSI |
3
|
| 500-1500 PSI |
4
|
| 1500-300 PSI |
4
|
| 3000-5000 PSI |
5
|
| 5000-10,000 PSI |
6
|
Sizes are specified by inside diameter (I.D.) x outside diameter (O.D.) x overall height (HT.).
Overall V-Packing Set Height by Cross-Section vs Number of Intermediates
Male and female adapters can be supplied in nylon material for excursion resistance. All rings can be supplied in other materials upon request. Sets can be supplied split if required. Individual rings are also available upon request. Custom set heights can be supplied if required. Contact us for any special requirements.
