Merkel Gland Packing G-Spezial 6560

Merkel G-Spezial is made of temperature resistant, flexible braided graphite yarns each of which is reinforced with a very thin Inconel wire. This highly pressure-resistant braided packing has the same excellent sealing effect as pure graphite rings wound from strip material. Merkel G-Spezial is especially suitable for fast repair service applications. For gaps greater than 0.2 mm, the use of Merkel Carbosteam 6550 is recommended as extrusion protection.

Also available as Merkel G-Spezial I 6569 with corrosion inhibitor.
