Graphite Ring
Graphite ring is a product made from graphite, a form of carbon. These are rings manufactured by molding flexible graphite or flexible graphite braided foil. They are designed to provide excellent sealing functions for valves, pumps, compressors, and chemical instruments. They are resistant to low and high temperatures, chemically inert, and have a low coefficient of friction. They are used in various applications including high temperature and pressure steam, hot water, oil, heat exchange fluids, and low-temperature liquids.
Product Info
Graphite rings are made of pure flexible graphite paper, which is sheared and pressed in a mold by spiral winding of graphite paper to form a ring-like graphite packing with precise size, definable density, and graphite purity greater than 99%. They are available in any desired ring geometries and dimensions.
Due to its special physical properties, graphite is perfectly suited for seals in fittings, pumps, and exhaust systems. High temperatures andor aggressive media pose no problems for graphite rings. They are used all over the world, protecting people and the environment from problematic media (liquids and gases)
Application
Graphite rings have a wide range of applications due to their unique properties. Here are some of the key applications:
1. Sealing and Packing: Graphite rings are used in various sealing applications, including valves, pumps, and other equipment. They are often used alongside graphite guide rings to seal high-pressure, oil-free gases.
2. High-Temperature Insulation: Due to their high-temperature resistance, graphite rings are used in high-temperature insulation applications.
3. Chemical Processing: In the chemical industry, graphite rings are used due to their chemical inertness.
4. Electrical Applications: Graphite's excellent electrical conductivity makes it suitable for various electrical applications.
5. Automotive and Transportation: In the automotive industry, graphite rings are used in components such as piston rings, thrust bearings, journal bearings, and vanes.
6. Heat Exchangers: Graphite rings are used in heat exchangers due to their excellent heat and thermal conductivity.
7. Cryogenic Applications: Graphite rings are also used in cryogenic applications due to their ability to withstand low temperatures.
8. High-Temperature and Pressure Valves: Graphite rings are used in high-temperature and pressure liquid and gas valves.
Please note that the specific application of a graphite ring can vary depending on its design and the specific requirements of the application.
