PATENTED


Maximum values-temperature, pH and speed-should not be combined on any one application without careful consultation. Common sense balancing of factors is always wise.

As with any product designed to operate in critical operations, this product and its installation must be clearly understood. In addition, the user should have full knowledge of the operating considerations of the equipment in which it is to be installed.
Description
A patented core of internally-sprung high temperature, high pressure graphite Seal Ryt Style 333, with helical braided inconel wire, with an over braid of carbon -inserted exfoliated graphite foil, Seal Ryt Style 396-C is the most effectively designed product on the market today for the sealing of fugitive fuel emissions. Seal Ryt Style 396-C meets or exceeds all requirements of A.P.I. 589 and 607 tests as well as the A.P.I. fire test for soft-seated quarter-turn valves.

Characteristics
Unlike other exfoliated graphite products which offer various other yarn or wire placements to theoretically address extrusion, blow-out prevention, etc., Seal Ryt Style 396-C utilizes its patented Style 333 core, capable of 5800 PSI alone, to provide a highly -sprung internal structure which enables 396-C to conform and re-conform through constant thermal cycling to various stem, bore and clearance conditions in various states of degradation.
