The substance in a stuffing box, through which a piston rod slides.
A yielding ring, as of metal, which surrounds a piston and maintains a tight fit, as inside a cylinder, etc.
Soil filled into cavities hollowed out in a wooden food source (e.g. Odontotermes and Microcerotermes), seemingly to protect the remainder (Fraser, 1993).
fibrous or rubberlike material that prevents leakage around valve or faucet stems
Sand, gravel, mill scale or similar materials used to support castings packed in annealing pots, to prevent possible warpage under high temperatures.
Stuffing treated cotton up the nostrils and in the ears.
To fill the concavity of the sole and the commissures of the frog with material that will prevent thrush and keep dirt from being trapped in the hoof while a pad is on under the shoe. The packing material may also contain various antibiotics and medications for other therapeutic uses.
The filling of the mold cavity or cavities as full as possible without causing undue stress on the molds or causing flash to appear on the finished parts. Over- or under-packing results in less than optimum fill.
n: 1. a material used in a cylinder on rotating shafts of an engine or pump in the stuffing box of a valve, or between flange joints to maintain a leak proof seal. 2. the specially fabricated filling in packed fractionation columns and absorbers.
Tamped earth fill supporting the turfs or the facing stones in a bank.
a sealing device consisting of bulk deformable material or one or more mating deformable elements, reshaped by manually adjustable compression to obtain and maintain effectiveness. It usually used axial compression to obtain radial sealing.
filling an open wound or cavity with a material such as gauze
material placed in a distillation column to create surface on which liquid/vapor contact can take place. Common packing types include Heli-pak, Propak and may other types.
a deformable material used to prevent or control the passage of matter between surfaces which move in relation to each other.
The deformable sealing material inserted into a valve stuffing box which when compressed by the gland provides a tight seal about the stem.
Fibrous material that is used on faucets to prevent leaks.
Soft material with good lubricating qualities which is packed inside a gland or other steam-tight joint.
Fibrous material, which is used on faucets for leak proofing.
n. material used to provide sealing between chambers of a door closer
sealing device consisting of soft material or one or more mating soft elements; reshaped by manually adjustable compression to obtain or maintain a leak-proof seal.
A flexible device, typically used in dynamic situations to retain fluids under pressure, or seal out foreign matter.
An asbestos material (used mainly around faucet stems) that, when compressed, results in a watertight seal. Home Improvement Encyclopedia
The practice of using increased pressure when injecting a part to force more plastic into the mold. This is often used to combat sink or fill problems, but also increases the likelihood of flash and may cause the part to stick in to the mold.
(the portafilter) The process of filling the portafilter with coffee.
