(1) Applying lubricating grease
Step 1 For PTFE yarn gland packing, apply a thin film of Krytox GPL207 grease, as
indicated in
Table 9-3, to the entire surface of all gland packing (main packing
and adapter packing). For expanded graphite packing, greasing is not necessary.
Step 2 For the gland packing system with two O-rings, which are placed around the inner
and outer diameter of the packing follower, apply Plastilube No. 3 grease made by
the U.S. company Sulflo, Inc., to both rings, as indicated in
Table 9-3.
