Our Product of the Month this november is GF7700 100% GORE® GFO® Characteristics The main feature of the compression packing style GF7700 is to combine the qualities of the ePTFE and this of the graphite. The encapsulation of graphite in the expanded PTFE stops the graphite's migration and reduces the thermal expansion of the packing. Applications The gland packing style GF7700 100% GORE® GFO® is recommended for all dynamic applications and mainly for the centrifugal pumps. It is an excellent packing suitable for all industrial fluids with the exception of strong oxidants and those not compatible with PTFE and graphite. The compression packing style GF7700 is a packing flexible, resilient, easy to cut and install. Even today offers an unmatched performance in the sealing of pumps, agitators and mixers. It is marked to guarantee its originality 100% GORE® GFO. Visit our website to learn more: https://lnkd.in/dbzwvCvQ #Carrara #Valve #Carrarasrl #graphite

International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women Today, we stand united against violence and discrimination. We believe in a world where every woman can live free from fear.

Our Product of the Month this september is 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐭! 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 The metal to metal Ball Valve seat configuration occurs when you have a direct contact between the seat and the ball on the primary sealing area. For the secondary sealing you can choose an O-ring, lip seal or graphite depending on the application. The coating is usually made with Tungsten Carbides or Chrome Carbides and is sprayed over the surface of the seats or ball using the HVOF procedure. We can provide various designs to give you the best performance for your specific needs. 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 This type of seat is used for high pressure and dirty services, when the plastic inserts could be easily damaged. The maximum service temperature is about 400°C depending on the base material grade. Visit our website to learn more: https://lnkd.in/dzdeha6N #Carrara #Valve #Carrarasrl #metaltometalseat
