What is a ceramic round rope 14mm?
Ceramic fibre rope and tape seal doors and joints that run too hot for rubber, such as boiler doors, oven doors, furnace hatches and flue joints. Round rope suits curved grooves; square rope suits flat grooves.
Gland packing is braided rope cut into rings to seal valve stems and pump shafts. Therefore, choose rope by temperature and packing by shaft size and fluid.
