801 Packing Used Specially for Valves
1. Present Situation for Valves with High Temperature and Pressure To valves used in petrochemical and thermal electricity etc. with high service temperature and high service pressure (service temperature ≥500℃, service pressure ≥10 MPa), now the following materials are employed generally for sealing valve stem.
1.1 The flexible graphite packing ring or braided packing The flexible graphite thread is the direct raw material used in making graphite packing. It is one of the most temp-resisting materials applied to various kinds of sealing materials. It hasfine self-lubricity (the coefficient of friction is 0.15), and it still has the lubricity even if used in high temperature (when temperature is 500℃,the coefficient of friction ≤0.4) ,and its allowable linear velocity may attain 40m/s. It has good chemical stability and strong corrosion resistance. It will not be brittle, aged and metamorphic to be used in the mediums including acid, alkali, salt, organic solvent, steam, hot oil, grease etc., of which the scope of pH is from 0 to 14.When used in above mediums it is of better sealing effectiveness with 75% of compressibility and 60% of resilience. And it also has better impermeability and fine thermal conductivity. But the flexible graphite products have deadly weakness as follow. When used in oxidizing medium, the allowable service temperature and service pressure will reduce to about 50% of the normal value. Thus it may cause the service condition to be restricted seriously.
1.1.2 Even if used in non-oxidizing medium, the amount of loss of temperature at 500℃ has reached up 8% , so its service life may be cut short greatly and the pressure variation will be decreased. Thus it will lead to leakage. 1.1.3 Its mechanical strength is so low that to be broken while filling. Also its tensile strength is lower so that to be difficult to clean the packing case while replacing packing. 2.The Design Principle and Main Parameter of the Packing Used Specially for Valves Beginning from 1970s, our country has imported several 300,000-ton- class ethylene devices from abroad one after another, of which the service temperature of power boiler and splitting boiler surpasses 500℃ and service pressure surpasses 10MPa. The sealing for their valve stems was a difficult problem to have to be settled urgently all the time. The main cause is that there is no a sort of thread, which is able to reach such service condition , used for packing.
2.1 Manufacturing Principle, Technology and Structure The fiber, of which the length is up to 4~10mm, used specially for diaphragm cloth is employed. And no subsidiary cotton and other fibers are added as spinning when 3 yarns are twisted together. Add high-temp-resisting nickel wire. After thread is formed, coat homogeneously a layer of high-temp-resisting lubricating solvent (0.05~0.2mm) on surface of the thread with special technology. In this way, then the product is finished after the thread was braided and shaped using feed-through braiding machine with 24 spindles or jacketed braiding machine made in Japan.
2.2 Properties and Characteristics Because of that the long fiber chosen to use specially for diaphragm cloth and high-temp- resisting nickel wire are twisted closely together, this material has fine tensile strength up to 30.1Mpa(See the test report given by Qingdao Construction Engineering Institute) and its service pressure can attain 18Mpa.Besides, because of that every kind of material chosen touse have not more than 2% of heating loss at 600℃, it also has the excellent high-temp-resisting property. As the high-temp-resisting lubricating layer was coated, it still has excellent self-lubricating property (the coefficient of friction is only 0.2,and the mass of friction is only 0.04g). It has the rational structure with 28% of the compressibility and 27% of resilience; it can be conformed completely to the packing requirements for compressibility and resilience. This material was passed the examination given by Sealing Supervising and Examining Center , National Mechanical Industrial Ministry and Examining Center of Qingdao Construction Engineering Institute on November 18, 1997. The relative physical and chemical indexes as follow.

Through 500 times reciprocating motion of the valve stem with 18MPa of pressure and 600℃ of temperature, the packing has been passed normally by the above data. So the following conclusions may be come to.
2.2.1 Because of that high-temp-resisting lubricating layer was coated on the surface of every thread, the packing has still fine lubricity at 600℃. Thus no surface destroy was occurred during the 500 times simulated reciprocating motion of valve stem. While in actual use, a valve is only switched 2~50 times a year, that is, the packing can be used continuously over ten years.
2.2.2 A s the sulfur content of the material chosen to use was controlled strictly, there is no corrosion of packing to the valve stem and packing case.
2.2.3 Scope of Application: Sealing for valve stems with high temperature and high pressure, which the medium is water vapor and various oils etc..
2.2.4 The allowable max service temperature is 600℃ and the allowable max service pressure is 18MPa.
2.2.5 After first filling, the pressure stress should be adjusted according to the load until to conform the requirements of sealing.
