Perfluoroelastomer (PFE) and long carbon fiber filled Teflon
(PTFE) V-rings are used.
Applied properly, this packing exhibits very little cold flow
(or creep). Consequently, it can effectively prevent fugitive
emissions leaks from a control valve. The LE Packing system
can directly replace conventional packing, requiring no
modification to the control valve or actuator.
A spring loaded, two-piece follower assembly is used to
maintain a constant load on the packing, and is necessary
for thermal cycling applications. As the definition of thermal
cycling can vary, and processes are potentially subject to
unpredicted thermal gradients, LE Packing is only available
with the spring loaded follower.
