🔍 Key Concepts

• Carbon ring packing function in a steam turbine shaft gland • How packing segments are held radially against the shaft and kept in place • Difference between labyrinth sealing and mechanical retention methods

💭 Think About

• Think about which device actually squeezes or holds the carbon segments together in a circle around the shaft. • Ask yourself: which option is commonly used like an "elastic band" around segmented rings to keep them in contact with the shaft? • Consider which choices are mainly for creating a tortuous leak path vs. which are for physically clamping or tensioning parts.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is specifically associated with segmented rings on rotating shafts. • Eliminate any option that mainly describes a type of seal geometry rather than a holding/tensioning device. • Confirm which device is flexible and can apply uniform radial pressure to several small ring segments.
