Carbon Gland Packing Rings & Piston Rings — sealing for turbines and compressors

When it comes to sealing performance in high-temperature, high-pressure industrial environments, carbon gland packing rings and piston rings stand in a class of their own. Manufactured with exacting precision, our carbon rings deliver reliable, long-lasting sealing solutions trusted by industries across India — from sugar mills and cement plants to power stations and hydroelectric projects.

What are carbon gland packing rings?

An economical, effective seal across every turbine type

Carbon gland packing rings are specialised sealing components designed to prevent or minimise the leakage of liquids and gases in rotating and reciprocating machinery. Unlike conventional packing materials, carbon offers exceptional resistance to heat, pressure, and chemical exposure — making it the ideal choice for demanding turbine and compressor applications. Our carbon gland rings provide an economical, simple, and highly effective seal across impulse turbines, water turbines, steam turbines, and gas turbines, and are equally suited for low-pressure fans and blowers, offering consistent performance where conventional seal materials would fail.

Piston rings & guide rings for compressors

Dual-role components for oil-free compressor applications

Beyond turbine sealing, we manufacture carbon piston rings and guide rings specifically designed for use in rotary compressors. These components serve dual roles — functioning both as piston rod packing to prevent gas leakage along the rod, and as structural components within the piston assembly itself. Carbon piston rings offer several advantages over metallic alternatives: they are self-lubricating, generate minimal heat from friction, and do not require lubrication oil — making them suitable for oil-free compressor applications where product purity is critical.

Applications

Engineered for the equipment where leakage isn't an option

Water turbines (hydro turbines)

Effective shaft sealing for hydroelectric installations.

Steam turbines

Minimising steam leakage at gland points for maximum energy efficiency.

Gas turbines

Withstanding high-temperature operating conditions.

Rotary compressors & blowers

Oil-free, low-friction piston and rod sealing.

Materials & temperature ratings

Three grades, each matched to an operating temperature

We manufacture carbon packing rings in three distinct material grades, each suited to specific temperature and performance requirements.

350–400°C
Operating temperature

Carbon resin impregnated (sintered)

The resin impregnation enhances structural integrity, reduces porosity, and improves resistance to process fluids — ideal for steam and gas turbine applications.

Up to 550°C
Operating temperature

Carbon without impregnation (sintered)

Superior thermal stability, recommended where higher operating temperatures are encountered, such as in high-pressure steam turbines and gas turbines.

Up to 180°C
Operating temperature

Indigenous carbon (press-to-mould)

A cost-effective grade delivering dependable sealing performance for lower-temperature systems including fans, blowers, and water turbines.
