PART NUMBER ANALYSIS

To properly select or replace this material

Key Features of This Construction

This grade is engineered for installations where service conditions do not warrant a high-performance material. Manufacturer data sheets distinguish its continuous operating limits from peak catalogue ratings.

Key Criteria for Selecting a Replacement

For routine maintenance, identify the process fluid, gasket thickness, and flange condition before selecting an economical replacement. Material cost alone is not a sufficient justification for your choice.

To compare constructions: Garlock High-Temp 5500 and TEADIT NA1122. While they share the same fibre family, the binding agents and reinforcements impact chemical compatibility and mechanical strength.

KEY COMPARISON CRITERIA

Compared to the carbon fiber-based Durlon 8300 or graphite-filled 8900, the 5000 is engineered primarily for moderate general service, utilizing a mineral/NBR formulation.
