feature

· Positioning and Supporting Packing: The separation ring helps position and support the packing rings, ensuring they stay in place and function correctly. It maintains the proper spacing between individual packing rings, which is essential for effective sealing.

· Distributing Pressure: By evenly distributing the pressure exerted by the packing gland, the separation ring helps to ensure that the packing material is uniformly compressed. This helps maintain a consistent seal and reduces the likelihood of leaks.

· Reducing Wear: The separation ring minimizes wear on the packing by preventing excessive movement and misalignment. This helps extend the lifespan of the packing material and ensures reliable pump operation.

· Cooling and Lubrication: In some designs, separation rings also facilitate the flow of cooling or lubricating fluids to the packing material. This helps dissipate heat generated during pump operation and reduces friction, further extending the life of the packing.

Position

Between Packing Rings: The separation ring is placed between packing rings to maintain the correct spacing and ensure even pressure distribution. This helps the packing rings to seal effectively against the plunger and stuffing box.
