packing the length formula and installation method

2012-10-29 by seoer4

Install the packing when we pump or valve on a pump or valve in the end need a lot of packing! This requires that we
calculated that the packing of the length of how to calculate it?
Packing length calculation formula and packing installation method
Need packing length of the formula: (shaft diameter d + packing width) 1.073.14
Packing cross-section formula: (stuffing box diameter - stem diameter) / 2
Selection of packing principle: rather large not small, rather tight Do not loose!
100% gfo packing installation methods:
Effective sealing of pumps and valves, depending on the overall status of the various components, with particular attention
to the packing prior to installation, the equipment has been convinced of the need to replace the packing in accordance with
the site and systems for effective isolation. The following used to guide maintenance personnel, engineers and assembly
workers to correctly install and adjust the packing.
1, the tools they need
Need special tools to remove the old packing replaced with a new packing gland nut fastener preload. In addition, the
frequent use of standard safety equipment and comply with the relevant safety requirements.
Before installation, you must first know the following equipment:
Checksum packing ring cutter, calibration torque wrench or wrench, helmet, inside and outside calipers, tighten the
lubricant, mirrors, packing remove, cut packing tool, vernier caliper, etc.
2, cleaning and inspection
A) slow release of the stuffing box gland nut to release the residual pressure of all packing components;
2) Remove all old packing, thoroughly clean the shaft / rod stuffing box;
3) Check the shaft / rod for corrosion, dents, scratches or excessive wear;
4) Check the other parts of burrs, cracks, wear, they will reduce the packing of life;
5) Check stuffing box whether there is a large gap, the eccentric shaft / rod;
6) the replacement of parts of larger defects;
7) Check the old packing, as the basis for failure analysis to find the reasons for early failure of packing.
3, measuring and recording
Record axis / rod diameter, pore size and depth of stuffing box, when the water seal ring, the bottom of the record of stuffing
to the top of the distance.
4, to select packing
1) Make sure the optional packing shall meet the requirements of systems and equipment operating conditions;
2) According to the survey record, calculate the cross-sectional area and the number of required packing ring of corrugated
gaskets ;
3) inspection and packing to ensure that its defects;
4) Before installing, ensure that the equipment and packing clean.
5, the packing ring preparation
1) braided packing

Wound packing in the axis of the appropriate size, or use the calibration of the packing ring cutter; upon request to cleanly
cut the packing into the butt (square) or a miter (30-45 degrees), a cut of a ring, and with size of the axis or stem test is
appropriate.
2) molding packing
Ensure that the ring size and the axis or stem with the precise, when necessary, the manufacturer's instructions according to
packing or require cutting packing ring.
6, install packing
Carefully every time you install a packing ring, a ring around before installation under a ring on the shaft or stem, should
ensure that the ring has been fully in place in the stuffing box, a ring should be staggered arrangement, at least 90 degrees
apart, the general requirements of 120 degrees. Most on a ring fitted well by hand tighten the nut, gland uniform pressure. If
water seal ring, you should check with the distance to the top of the stuffing box is correct. At the same time to ensure that
the shaft or stem can rotate freely.
7, to adjust packing
1) pumps using packing
(1) continue to hand tighten the gland nut;
(2) a pump, adjust the gland nuts, allow slightly more leakage;
(3) slowly tighten the gland cover nut, gradually reduce leakage to an acceptable level until the leak;
(4) If disclosure of a sudden stop, should be back to tighten the gland nut, re-regulation to prevent the packing of
overheating;
(5) adjust the leakage rate of a steady state can be.
2) The valves use packing
To the packing manufacturer or the enterprise technology sector to consult the relevant provisions of the torque or
compression percentage, tighten the gland nut by following these steps:
(1) applied to the gland nut compression percentage of 30% of torque to full torque or party;
(2) repeated opening and closing the valve several times to exert torque when the valve in the closed position;
(3) Repeat steps (2) 3 or 4 times.
8, again fastening and replacement
Adjust the status of the operation a few hours later, check the gland, as necessary, tighten the gland can not be further
adjusted, you must replace the packing.
Introduced above the packing of the length formula and installation method as a reference and to share, hope more
exchanges to jointly develop our seals career.
