G57
 
Emission Packing Set
 
Braided Reinforced Carbon & Flexible Graphite

 

John Crane Style G57 combines two high-performance materials and transforms them into a packing offering excellent heat dissipation, chemical resistance and antiextrusion characteristics. The strategic placement of the carbon fibers enhances structural stability resulting in less in-service consolidation. Minimal to zero flush is also a key advantage to the selection of this material.

 

 
Design Features
 

Construction and Features
