Flexible Graphite Packing System for Rising Stem Steel Valves (Design Requirements)

This MSS Standard Practice provides packing material and dimensional requirements for valve packing, packing chamber, packing gland, packing washer, bonnet, and stem as they relate to the total packing assembly. It applies to standard, special, and limited Class 150 through Class 4500 (including intermediate classes) ASME B16.34 type steel gate, globe, and angle valves designed with rotating/rising, and non-rotating/rising stems. It applies to valves in which a flexible graphite packing assembly is used as the primary stem sealing system. It does not apply to valves that include a lantern ring as part of its packing system nor to bonnetless valves with split glands.
