VK4B
VK4B
Vulcan VK4B is an interlace, square braid packing manufactured from KEVLAR® Aramid fibres impregnated with PTFE dispersion and specially treated with high-temperature break-in-lubricant. KEVLAR® offers a unique combination of extremely high tensile strength, lasting resilience, low thermal expansion, low coefficient of friction and wide chemical resistance.
Vulcan VK4B KEVLAR® gold fibre packing is a true multi-service packing that is well suited to the needs of many industries, particularly where physical strength in a packing is required. The strength of KEVLAR® is ideal for use as anti-extrusion, abrasion resistant, back-up rings, with other packing types, to increase the life of any packing combination.
Type VK4B standard spool length is 8 metres. Custom lengths can be available - please contact us using the form.
Features
- Impregnated with PTFE dispersion
- Suitable for Pumps (rotary and reciprocating) and valves, including high pressure or high mechanical loading conditions
- Superior lubrication leads to less wear and higher shaft speed capability
Operating Limits
- Pressure Rating: 400 Bar
- Rotary Speed: 15 m/s
- Temperature: -100˚C to +280˚C
- pH Range: 1-13
Limits are for guidance only. Product performance is dependent on materials and other operating conditions.
Compatible with media in the range pH 0-14, excluding strong oxidizing agents.
Negligible volatile content.
Low in extractable trace impurities such as chloride and sulphur.
For pumps (rotary and reciprocating) and valves, including high pressure or high mechanical loading conditions, against abrasive slurries, sewage, effluents, water, oils, solvents and most chemicals. The non-staining superior lubrication of Vulcan VK4B means less wear and a higher shaft speed capability than some other KEVLAR® packing types. Suitable for use in the paper industry.
