Do we have to remove the throat bush for API Plan 02
Do we have to remove the throat bush for API Plan 02
(OP)
I would like to seek your experience about removing the throat bush or nick bush at the end of the stuffing box, when using API plan 02 in a high viscous material such asphalt. Some body claim it is good to do that and fully machine the stuffing box in order to have good venting and keep the fluid at low viscosity.
Best Regards

Suggest that replace use rotating throat bush i.e. have a throat bush fixed to the sleeve or shaft with a clearance of about 0.6 to 1 mm betwee rotating throat bush and stuffing box.
This will isolate the stuffing box liquid and you will be able to reduce the temperature in the stuffing box.
