For fluid sealing, different kinds of packings are used. Graphite packings and PTFE Packings are popular sealants generally available in braided style. The biggest difference between both these packings is that graphite is a naturally occurring form of carbon and PTFE is a synthetic material. Yarns go through multiple heat treatments to get the shape and structure of the desired characteristics of packings. Let’s understand PTFE vs Graphite Packings on the basis of the following aspects: Composition Graphite is an inorganic [...]
