Hongwo Braided Packing
The replacement cycle of aramid packing varies and is not fixed. The following are some factors that affect the replacement cycle:
1. Working conditions
a. Temperature: In a high-temperature environment, aramid packing will age faster. The replacement cycle may be shorter. Generally, you may need to replace it every few months in high-temperature environments.
b. Pressure: High pressure will wear the packing and shorten its lifespan. In high-pressure environments, the replacement cycle may be several months to a year.
c. Medium: Different media have different corrosiveness to the packing. If the medium is highly corrosive, the packing will wear faster. It may need inspection and replacement every few months.

2. Equipment operating conditions
a. High speed increases wear on the packing. This shortens the replacement cycle. For high-speed equipment, consider replacing the packing every few months.
b. Equipment vibration: Strong vibrations will damage the packing seal. They will also speed up its wear. For equipment with high vibration, you may need to replace the packing sooner.
3. Packing quality
a. High-quality aramid packing lasts longer. It has better wear, high-temperature, and corrosion resistance.
b. Low-quality packing may become damaged soon and must be frequently replaced.
It is best to regularly check the aramid packing. Check its sealing performance and wear. Then, set a replacement cycle based on the results. It is best to inspect it every six months to a year. Replace it if needed.
