PRODUCT INFORMATION
Carbon/graphite turbine packing rings

High-performance circumferential shaft seals for steam turbines.
Carbon/graphite is the ideal material for steam turbine packing rings, and ROC Carbon is the perfect source for high-performance segmented packing rings. Our rings feature precision manufacturing and special material grades for optimum sealing performance and service life. Materials Carbon/graphite grades used are from our Group C graphite and Group F carbon/graphite materials. These grades have a fine-grain structure with excellent mechanical properties. Retaining (or garter) springs are made from Inconel (for temperatures above 700 F) or stainless steel. Stops are made from cadmiumplated steel or bronze. Precision manufacturing Sealing effectiveness of ROC Carbon turbine rings is achieved by a combination of careful design and painstaking craftsmanship in manufacturing. Shaft clearance calculations take into account the coefficient of thermal expansion of both the shaft material and the selected carbon/graphite grade as well as the exact operating temperature. Typical segment ends are either overlap or light-tight butt joints, and each joint is matched and marked. Ring faces are given a commercial lap finish. Availability ROC Carbon maintains an extensive inventory of the most popular packing ring styles. Our cross-reference system for OEM part numbers ensures that you get the correct replacement part quickly. Nonstandard and obsolete parts can be manufactured and delivered in ten working days for routine orders. However, in emergencies, many special orders can be shipped in a day or less. Technical services ROC Carbons engineering staff is available to help you evaluate seal problems and to recommend solutions involving seal geometry and material. For nonstandard parts for modified machines, we will recommend the proper turbine ring ID if you furnish steam conditions and shaft size.
ROC Carbon inventories a variety of popular turbine packing rings for fast, offthe-shelf delivery. Emergency custom orders can also be shipped quickly.
