Graphite Packing Length Calculation Formula

To find the packing length, use this formula:

Packing length = (Shaft diameter d + Packing width) × 1.07 × 3.14.

Cross-Sectional Area of Graphite Packing

To find the cross-sectional size of the packing, use this formula:

Cross-sectional area of packing = (Diameter of stuffing box – Diameter of valve stem) / 2.

Principle of Selecting Graphite Packing

When choosing graphite packing, remember: “rather large than small, rather tight than loose.” This ensures the best sealing effect.
