Each strand needs to be coated to prevent “wicking” (leakage through the fiber)

Blocking agents that are only applied by “dipping” do not get between the yarns and also hard to penetrate to the center of packing

With larger cross sections the yarn needs to be increased by twisting yarns to make larger strands before the braiding process

Braid over braid with smaller yarn diameters creates a packing with weak internal strength and a sign of a poorly manufactured packing

Chesterton uses correct sized yarn for all pump packing.

No braid over braid constuction.

A progressive packing company keeps up with technology to create better pump packings– The Yarn market has changed

drastically over the last 20 years with new materials and processes

– Testing pump packing in a real world environment is important to understand / address the needs of customers and not to develop products in a vacuum

A quality pump packing company focuses on the customer during manufacturing– Creating Rectangular pressed packing aids in quicker

installation and saves time– Removing moisture / water content of braided packing

to create consistent - concentrated sealing products (better value)

– Consistent braiding point (flexible to install and get around shaft but tight enough braid to allow minimum consolidation)

– Consistent density / ft/lb / m/kg (using weights to ensure proper tension for each cross section / use automation to stop braider if broken strand)

– Controlled documentation on all braided products by cross section that dictates exact formulas and leads to consistent product
