Fluoropolymer packing material (FUM)
(TU 6-05-1570-86)
FUM represents the shaped article from nonsintered 4D fluoropolymer, containing or not containing lubricant.
It is the braid of round or square section.
Applications:
- as packing material for different types threading and flanged connections;
- as chemically proof self-lubricating packings (in stationary connections) and sealing material in parts of shut-off accessory, pumps and different seals of the chemical equipment, pipelines;
- for sealing of different contact surfaces in the equipment of food and pharmaceutical industry.
Operating temperatures:
- From -60°Ñ up to +150°Ñ (grade Â)
Media pressures: up to 6,3 MPa.
Available products:
- FUM-B - for different aggressive media og general industrial type. Contains lubricant "Â".
FUM is made of the following profiles:
- round - diameter from 4 up to 8 mm, length not less than 2,0 m;
- square - from 3×3 mm up to 8×8 mm; length not less than 2,0 m.
Other profiles and dimensions are optionally possible.
