3300 Series Packing from Slade

Advantages

Minimizes or Virtually Eliminates Leakage!
Due to its patented construction of  natural, expanded graphite yarns,  Slade 3300G turns the stuffing box into a heat sink, conducting heat away from shaft, in many applications, eliminating expensive leakage previously needed to cool the stuffing box.
 
Can Be Operated Flush-Free in Most Applications
Slade 3300G conducts heat away from the shaft/sleeve, in most cases making flush unnecessary.   If media has particulate contamination, a very mild flush should be all that is required.

Reduces Inventory and Cost

Worn Shafts and Sleeves Easily Sealed
Conforms to the geometry of the stuffing box and shaft.  Seals most worn sleeves.

3300G

All Purpose Pump and Valve Packing   Reinforcement: Corners and yarns of graphite foil reinforced with high strength structural carbon fiber + Click to Enlarge Temp: Mild Oxidizers to 1800°F/1000°C (for temperatures over 1000°F/540°C, consult the factory) Pressures: Valves to 5000 PSI/350 BAR without end-rings Pumps: Flush-free in many services to 4800 FPM (1400 m/min) pH Range: 1-14 Applications: Chemicals, steam, hydrocarbons, etc. Advantages: One packing inventory for all pumps and valves Works well on worn sleeves Difficult to overtighten No added lubricants to squeeze out or burn off Eliminates flush-water in most applications Not necessary to replace entire set, just add ring Won’t glaze or harden Eliminates most leaks Amperage reduction of 15% is typical No special end-rings required Outlasts typical packings by factor of 6 4800 fpm/24 ms (without flush water) pH 1-14 Operates virtually leak-free in most applications Low chloride/sulfur available for nuclear service Installation: Check clearances and dimensions Best to use no more than 5 rings in stuffing box (use Sladespacer bushings to reduce rings) Cut rings on the bias (45° angle), stagger joints Compress each sealing ring at least 25% (especially the first ring). Do not compress spacer bushings. Loosen gland to allow it to relax Snug the gland bolts and start the pump 3300GLC: Low chloride for nuclear service  3300GLS: Low sulfur for nuclear service
