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

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
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.
