Advantages 3300G Advantages

Installation: 1. Check clearances and dimensions


2. Best to use no more than 5 rings in stuffing
box (use Slade spacer bushings to reduce
rings)
3. Cut rings on the bias (45° angle), stagger
joints
4. Compress each sealing ring at least 25%
(especially the first ring). Do not compress
spacer bushings.
5. Loosen gland to allow it to relax
6. Snug the gland bolts and start the pump

decreases.

Advantages of 3300 Products

Applications
 Gate Valves
 Globe Valves
 Pinch Valves
 Diaphram Valves
 Needle Valves
 Plug Valves
 Butterfly Valves
 Ball Valves
 Check Valves
 Relief Valves
 Control Valves
 Knife Valves
Fire Safe
 Slade braided graphite foil is API Fire Test Certified
 API 589 First Edition
 API 607 Fourth Edition (modified by EXXON Specs)
 Tested by Southwest Research Institute
 Witnessed by 3 EXXON Engineers
 Temperatures to 1800°F/1000°C
 Tested at 5% of allowable standard
 Performed under a grant from the American Petroleum Institute
 Warning: Valves sealed with packings containing lubricants or blocking
agents (PTFE) may cause secondary fires when exposed to the intense heat
of a fire in another unit, which would cause packing shrinkage and leakage
of flammable fluids causing a secondary fire.
 SLADE Patented Packings: rated FIRE SAFE
Emission Safe
 PERF Emission Standards
 Contact Slade for documentation
 EXXON-Emission Report:
o Emission tests, performed at a leading petroleum company’s test
facility in Florham Park, NJ (using PERF procedures and standards),
show that Slade patented, reinforced braided graphite foil
outperformed standard die-formed graphite sealing rings.
o Slade reduced emissions by 74%.
 Corpus Report:
o A major Gulf Coast, USA refinery reports that 96% of the 325 valves
packed with slade reported zero ppm emissions. Most of these valves
were packed in the field by inexperienced installers.
 Cambridge Report:
o A major USA West Coast refinery reports that after 5 years, 96% of the
282 field installed valves were at zero emissions and that the 3,000 psi
hydrogen control valves never went over 9 ppm during the 5 year test.
Most of these valves were packed in the field.
All claims made herein are documented.
3300G Advantages in Particular

1. Seals Fugitive Emissions to below 50 PPM!


2. Puts anti-extrusion into each ring (as opposed to just top or bottom)
3. Puts the tensile strength of graphite fiber into the sealability of flexible
graphite (see next slide)
4. Reduces inventory and cost:
1. By eliminating die-formed rings for each size
2. By having a few standard sizes for all valves and pumps
3. By not ruining an entire packing set because of one ruined ring (sets
not required)
4. In many applications, no need to remove old packing, just add ring
5. No End-Rings Required: Puts wiping action in each ring to prevent
build-up of graphite particles at top and bottom rings and the loss of volume
in between
6. Extremely high tensile strengths achieved with carbon/graphite core and
corners
7. No risk of misplacement of the anti-extrusion rings (each ring acts as an
anti-extrusion device no matter where you put it). Fewer installation errors
8. High operating temperatures (typically: 1,800° F)
9. Conforms to the geometry of the stuffing box and stem; undersized or
worn stems and shafts easily sealed
10. “Live-loading” not required (no weight loss at temperatures up to 1,000
degrees F).
11. Seals pressures to 5,000 PSI in Valves, without special rings
12. Highly polished surfaces are not required since natural, exfoliated
graphite fills in the interstices of rougher surfaces, providing a lubricated
surface: graphite against graphite (recommendations are RMS. 16 to 32)
13. Handles media within full 1-14 pH

Enviro-Foil Spacer Bushings

New Enviro-Foil spacer bushings replace carbon bushings for Slade’s valve repair
customers.

Slade’s patented technology for metallic foil inserted braiding yarns eliminates the
machined carbon bushings used as spacers in stuffing boxes.

EPRI (Electrical Power Research Institute) has proven that using more than five
rings of packing reduces the sealing capability of all valve packings. Machined
carbon bushings are used to act as space fillers to improve valve-sealing
performance.

Slade’s patented technology, has lead to the development of a simpler spacer


system that is more user friendly.

Available in pre-formed rings.

Also excellent as an Anti-Extrusion Ring!!!

Vapor Depositioned 3300G Spacer Bushings

The Vapor Depositioned 3300G Spacer Bushing (VDG-3300G) is a densely die-


formed bushing of braided yarns of graphite foil reinforced with carbon fiber.

This VDG-3300G is a non-metallic bushing that may be used in automatic control


valve applications. Contact the factory.
General Installation

 Please contact Slade for detailed Installation Instructions


 Check clearances and dimensions
 Best to use no more than 5 sealing rings in stuffing box (use Slade’s Enviro-
Foil Spacer Bushings to reduce rings)
 Cut sealing rings on the bias (45° angle), stagger joints
 Compress each sealing ring 25%-30% (use packing compressors as
needed). Do not compress spacer bushings.
 Loosen gland to allow it to relax
 Snug the gland bolts
