The Vulcan Seals Type VT6 is a static-use variant of our Vulcan Seals Type VT2 which has been specifically designed and produced for man lids on tanks. Vulcan Seals Type VT6 is dense, square inter-braided from PAN fibres that are thoroughly impregnated with PTFE dispersion.
Increasing environmental awareness and legislation make consideration of the material, braid quality, and performance of tank lid packing of paramount importance. The Vulcan Seals Type VT6 is widely used in the static and road tank industry as a quality example of braided tank packing.

The Vulcan Seals Type VT6 is a dimensional replacement for the following gland packing ranges:
The PV chart shows the maximum operating pressuresof this Vulcan seal type based on the seal face materialsused. Different lines on the chart indicate different materialcombinations, as shown underneath.
It also assumes stable operation in a clean, cool, lubricatingand non-volatile fluid with an adequate flush rate.
For more in-depth pressure rating calculations based onspecific material combinations and application conditions,please consult us.
Stainless Steel vs Carbon | x 0.30 |
A. Shaft size: 1” therefore pressure is 12 bar (from PV chart)
B. Media: Water (multiplier = 0.85)
C. Temperature: 50°C (multiplier = 1.00)
D. Speed: 1450 rpm (multiplier = 1.00)E. Face combination: Stainless Steel vs Carbon (multiplier = 0.30)
For this particular Type 12 seal size, the calculation for the approximate guidance maximum operating pressure would be:
A x B x C x D x E12 bar x 0.85 x 1.00 x 1.00 x 0.30 = 3.06 bar
Please note that due to the many operational andapplication variables that affect seal performance, theinformation given on this page is for guidance only.
We therefore strongly recommend careful individualtesting and monitoring of all seals and related equipmentfor any proposed application.Our policy is one of continuous technical and efficiencyimprovement.
As such, all specifications may be subjectto change without prior notice.
