Installation of Sealing packing (stuffing box packing)
Ⅰ.Choose suitable packing style
Some factors will affect the choice of packing as follow:
a. Style of equipment--------pump, valve, stirrer and so on
b. Condition of equipment-------new and old status, the gap between shaft
and stuffing, the shaft running true centred or eccentric
c. The physical characteristics of medium-------gas medium, liquid medium,
abrasive medium, sticky medium etc
d. The chemical characteristics of medium------acidic medium, caustic
medium etc
e. The temperature of medium------consider the frictional heat between the
turning shaft and the packing, the factor of heat-transmitting properties etc
f. The pressure of medium
Ⅱ.Confirm exact packing cross section
Ⅲ.Calculating the exact length of packing ring
Ⅳ.Cut the packing ring exactly
Usually use 45°cut
Ⅴ.Inserting the packing ring into the stuffing box as graph as follows:

Ⅵ. Press the packing ring group out, adjust the leakage capacity up to the
acceptable level.
