Comparison Table of Gambit Packings
Braided packings are the most common sealings used in stuffing boxes of pumps and fittings. Easy-to-apply , versatile, long-lasting and relatively cheap, they are continuously a subject of usersʼ interest, although the number of alternative solutions is growing steadily. Implementation of advancements in material engineering, new materials and ever further specialised material and design compositions, allow obtaining better and more durable sealing solutions, provided correct mounting and operation is ensured.
