Product Information
Vulcan Types VR3 and VR31 are braided packings constructed from 100% Grafan yarns to form truly exceptional capability and performance, pure Graphite packing.

Type VR31 is additional re-inforced with Inconel Wire to create the packing for high temperature, high pressure valves.

Under compression in the gland, Types VR3/VR31 die-forms into packing rings like VR2 whilst offering the advantage of avoiding the need to laboriously wrap VR1 ribbon tape around valve stems or the cost of an inventory of many sizes of individual VR2 die-formed rings.

Type VR3/VR31 can be merely cut to length and spiraled into the gland. There is no need for individual cut rings as is the case with conventional braided packings. Grafan is self-lubricating and will not shrink nor harden or dry out in use.

Applications For Types VR1, VR2, VR3 and VR31
Extreme condition, long life and zero leakage packing for all uses up to high temperature, high pressure, high speed applications on pumps, valves, mixers, agitators, expansion joints, ball valve seats and other static seals. Types VR1 and VR31 are designed for use in static applications only. Against all acids, alkalis and solvents (except very strong oxidisers), gases, feed water and superheated, or saturated, steam.
