Sealing packing is a key component used in sealing equipment, commonly used to prevent liquid, gas, or dust leakage. Proper use of sealing fillers can improve the lifespan of equipment and reduce the frequency of maintenance and replacement. Here are some correct methods for using sealing fillers to improve the lifespan of equipment.

1. Choose the appropriate sealing packing

Different types of sealing fillers are required for different equipment and working conditions. Select appropriate sealing fillers based on factors such as operating temperature, pressure, and medium of the equipment. Common sealing fillers include PTFE, graphite, fluororubber, etc., each with its suitable working conditions and characteristics.

2. Install the sealing packing correctly

When installing sealing packing, it is necessary to pay attention to the following points:

-Clean surface: Ensure that the sealing surface is clean, smooth, and free of impurities or rust to ensure the fit between the filler and the sealing surface.

-Appropriate tightening force: Determine the appropriate tightening force based on the type and thickness of the filler. Tightness can cause packing wear, while looseness can lead to leakage.

-Reasonable packing length: The length of the packing should match the length of the sealing surface to avoid being too long or too short, which may affect the sealing effect.

3. Regular inspection and maintenance

Regularly check the wear level of the sealing packing and replace severely worn packing in a timely manner. Regularly clean and lubricate the packing to extend its service life. At the same time, pay attention to the leakage of the sealing packing, promptly handle the leakage problem, and avoid further damage to the equipment.

4. Pay attention to lubrication and cooling

In some special working conditions, such as high temperature and high pressure environments, sealing fillers are prone to thermal expansion and wear. In this case, appropriate lubrication and cooling measures need to be provided to reduce the friction and wear of the packing and maintain the sealing effect.

5. Proper equipment maintenance

Proper use of sealing materials is only one part of improving the lifespan of equipment, and proper maintenance of the equipment is also essential. Regularly cleaning equipment, replacing aging components, and maintaining stable operation can effectively extend the service life of the equipment.

In short, the correct use of sealing fillers can improve the lifespan of equipment and reduce the risk of leakage and damage. Choosing appropriate fillers, proper installation, regular inspection and maintenance, and proper equipment maintenance are all important steps to ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment. Although sealing packing is only a small part of the equipment, it plays a crucial role and deserves our attention and correct use.
