Professional Introduction to Aramid Packing
Aramid packing is a specialized sealing material made primarily from high-performance aramid fibers. Valued for its exceptional temperature resistance, mechanical strength, and chemical stability, it has become a crucial choice in the field of modern industrial sealing.
Core Characteristics
1.  Material Advantages:
       Woven from para-aramid (PPTA) fibers.
       Fiber strength > 3000 MPa (5 times that of steel wire).
       Inherently flame retardant (Limiting Oxygen Index ≥ 28).
2.  Performance Parameters:
       Temperature range: -196°C to +260°C (short-term up to 300°C).
       Pressure tolerance: ≤ 25 MPa (rotary) / ≤ 35 MPa (reciprocating).
       Linear speed: ≤ 20 m/s (in water medium).
       Friction coefficient: 0.10-0.15.
3.  Special Advantages:
       Zero creep characteristics (creep < 0.5% over 1000h).
       Radiation resistance (withstands doses up to 10⁶ Gy).
       Excellent self-lubricating properties.

       Compression: 15-20%.

3.  Commissioning:

       Run-in period: 4-8 hours.

       Initial leakage: ≤ 100 ml/h.

Maintenance Recommendations

   Check tightening force every 2000 hours.

   Replenish lubricant every 5000 hours.

   Replacement criteria: Leakage > 300 ml/h or wear > 30%.

Certification Standards

   API 622 (fugitive emissions).

   ISO 15848 (valve sealing).
