PART NUMBER ANALYSIS

To properly select or replace this material

Material Construction and Behaviour

KLINGER emphasizes heat-resistant additives and excellent creep resistance. A high-temperature fibre-based material remains distinct from an expanded graphite sheet.

Key Verification Points Prior to Substitution

Identify the actual steam service conditions and alkaline media, without compounding catalog maximums. Bolting torque conditions and the pressure/temperature curve remain critical.

To compare constructions: Durlon 8300 and Garlock High-Temp 9850. Fibres, binders, and potential reinforcements differ. Verify the exact material construction prior to any substitution.
