The PTFE V-packing set is fitted together with a compression spring 950. It is self-
adjusting, i.e. maintenance-free. If leakage is detected at the stem, the V-packing set
is worn and must be replaced with a new one.
7.2.2.2 Checking the graphite gland packing
The graphite gland packing 461 comprises two packing rings fitted between two
packing end rings. This stem seal design is not maintenance-free.
If regular inspection reveals leakage at stem 200 or a reduction in the tightening
torque of stuffing box screw 45-6, the stuffing box screw must be re-tightened to the
in-service torque specified (ðSection7.5,Page30) .
If re-tightening to the in-service torque does not restore seal integrity, the gland
packing must be replaced. The same applies once stuffing box screw 45-6 rests on the
neck of the bonnet, i.e. when the packing has already been re-tightened to
maximum compression.
