Diagonally braided packing made with Inconel reinforced flexible graphite and treated with lubricating agents and a corrosion inhibitor Description and Applications The new TEADIT packing style 2235 is made from layers of flexible graphite tape plied into compact strands; each individual filament is reinforced with an Inconel* wire jacket. This yarn is then square braided to form a dense yet malleable packing, which is subsequently treated with lubricating agents to reduce stem friction and a corrosion inhibitor to prevent pitting. (*Inconel is a registered trademark of International Co.) Properties TEADIT style 2235 is a high-performance valve packing, especially designed for high-pressure, high-temperature steam service. It is self-lubricating, non-hardening, dimensionally stable and easy to install. The Inconel wire mesh covering makes this packing highly resistant to extrusion, the advanced construction assures superior leakage control and highest integrity in steam service. Application areas Typical applications for style 2235 include control and block valves, as well as other demanding applications in power plants, refineries and similar industries where high pressures and high temperatures are prevailing.
