What Sets This Material Apart

The insertion of a stainless steel mesh insert between layers of expanded graphite enhances mechanical strength. It should not be confused with a solid metal core.

Recommendations for Replacement Evaluations

For replacement applications, evaluate the dimensions, mesh specifications, and the required bolt loading for your equipment.

To compare constructions: Garlock GRAPH-LOCK 3124 and Garlock GRAPH-LOCK 3125TC. The type of stainless steel reinforcement and the mechanical bonding method directly influence seating stress requirements and blowout resistance.
