Charging Pump Packing

Problem

Previous packing (Utex) installed on Nuclear Charging Pumps resulted in excessive leakage and failure after only 1500 hours in service.

Solution

Garlock Charging Pump Packing is an engineered packing set designed specifically for Charging Pumps in PWR Nuclear Plants. Charging Pumps installed with Garlock Charging Pump Packing successfully ran up to 9000 hours and leakage was reduced from 0.7 gallons per minute to less than 0.07 gallons per minute resulting in significant cost savings.
