🔍 Key Concepts

• Material compatibility with steam and high temperature • Typical packing materials used for reciprocating pump piston rods • Differences between packing for high-pressure vs low-pressure and rotating vs reciprocating equipment

💭 Think About

• Which packing types would be damaged or break down quickly when exposed to hot steam and constant reciprocating motion? • Think about which materials are normally used in contact with superheated steam and piston rods on older marine auxiliary machinery. • Which choice sounds more suitable for sliding, back-and-forth motion under pressure, rather than rotary shafts or low‑pressure water service?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any material that would soften, swell, or burn in hot steam service. • Check which options are more appropriate for high temperature and high pressure rather than low‑pressure or water‑only systems. • Ask whether the packing needs to be primarily heat resistant and mechanically robust, or flexible like rubber for cold/low‑pressure service.
