Additional Information for Packing With Retainer
Packing with Retainer is a type of packing material used in various industries for sealing applications. It is classified under the supply class "Packing And Gasket Materials" in the supply group "Hardware And Abrasives."
Packing with Retainer consists of a combination of packing material and a metal retainer. The packing material is typically made of materials such as graphite, PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), or synthetic fibers, which provide excellent sealing properties. The metal retainer is designed to hold the packing material in place and provide stability during operation.
The main purpose of Packing with Retainer is to create a tight seal between two mating surfaces, preventing leakage of fluids or gases. It is commonly used in applications such as pumps, valves, compressors, and other mechanical equipment that require reliable sealing.
The metal retainer in Packing with Retainer helps to maintain the shape and integrity of the packing material, ensuring a consistent and effective seal. It also provides additional support and resistance against extrusion or blowout under high pressure or temperature conditions.
Packing with Retainer is available in various sizes, shapes, and materials to suit different sealing requirements. It is important to select the appropriate packing material and retainer based on the specific application, operating conditions, and compatibility with the fluids or gases being sealed.
Overall, Packing with Retainer is a reliable and durable sealing solution used in industrial settings to ensure efficient and leak-free operations.
