What is centrifugal pump gland packing?

Centrifugal pump gland packing seal refers to a common centrifugal pump sealing method. It is made of soft packing and is used to fill in the sealing gap between the pump body and the pump shaft of the centrifugal pump.
Gland packing seals form a sealing barrier by filling the gap between the pump body and the pump shaft, preventing liquid from leaking from the pump body end to the pump shaft end.
The gland packing seal can form a buffer layer between the pump shaft and the pump body, reduce the friction and wear between the pump shaft and the pump body, and prolong the service life of the seal and the pump shaft.

Gland packing seals are usually made of high temperature and corrosion resistant materials, which are suitable for handling different kinds of liquids, such as corrosive liquids or high temperature liquids.
The gland packing seal allows the operator to adjust the tightness of the packing as needed to achieve the best sealing effect.
Although centrifugal pump gland packing seal is a common centrifugal pump sealing method, in some special working conditions, other sealing methods, such as mechanical seals, may also be used. According to different working environments and liquid properties, choosing a suitable sealing method is very important to ensure the stable operation and performance of the centrifugal pump.
