PART NUMBER ANALYSIS

To properly select or replace this material

What Sets This Material Apart

The 316 stainless steel wire mesh is incorporated into a laminated construction using a low-percentage adhesive binder. It significantly enhances sheet handling and structural integrity compared to homogeneous graphite.

Recommendations for Replacement Evaluations

Carefully evaluate the mesh type, sheet flexibility, and cutability. A wire mesh core and a tanged metal core are distinct constructions with different performance characteristics.

To compare constructions: Garlock GRAPH-LOCK 3126 and Garlock GRAPH-LOCK 3125TC. The stainless steel insert style and mechanical bonding method directly impact bolt load requirements and blowout resistance.
