Abstract
Standards and legislation concerning valve stem leakage are becoming ever more rigorous. In the attempt to gain a better scientific understanding of valve packing behaviour, a finite element (FE) model of exfoliated graphite packing rings is currently under development at Trinity College, Dublin. This feature, based on a paper presented at the 17th International Conference on Fluid Sealing, describes recent progress in this area.
