About Compression Packing Seals

Compression packing seals are part of the oldest and most common sealing process, compression packing. In compression packing, sealing is accomplished by tightening a gland along the top ring of the stuffing box so that the packing is compressed onto the surface to be sealed. Compression packing seals, or gland seals, include the following: compression packing, gaskets, mechanical seals, gasket material, and other fluid sealing devices. Compression packing seals can seal a number of fluids including water, acids, solvents, gases, oil, and other chemicals in a range of conditions based on temperature and pressure. “Compression packing seals” is a broad category that covers seals that are manufactured in a wide array of shapes, sizes, and constructions from many materials.
