| Type: | Graphite Slide Plates |
| Size: | 4”-10” Length | 4”-10″ Width |
| Material: | Graphite Sheets | Carbon Steel |
| Design: | 2000 PSI Operating Pressure |
PT&P manufactured multiple graphite slide plates for a technology and engineering company in North Carolina. The materials for these slide plates are made of graphite sheets with carbon steel backing pads. The dimensions range in length 4″ to 10″ and width 4″ to 10″ with an operating pressure of 2000 PSI. The carbon steel backing pads are hot dipped galvanized. The graphite pads were then bonded to carbon steel backing plates with a ¾ lip all around to allow for field welding. For high temperature applications, we can also bond and bolt the graphite slides to the carbon steel backing plates.
The materials used for slide plates can be specified based on the design. Other materials used in addition to graphite are:
- PTFE
- Bronzephite
- Stainless Steel
- Marinite
