 STUFFING BOX
Experiment: Date:

When a sliding or rotating rod passes through a cylinder, containing fluid under
pressure, to prevent the leakage of fluid along the sliding or rotating rod, a stuffing box is used. A
good stuffing box should allow free movement of the rod with practically no leakage of the fluid.

Stuffing box is used in steam engines, reciprocating pump, centrifugal pumps, valves
etc.

The stuffing box body is cast as part of either cylinder end or cylinder cover. The top
flange is elliptical. The space around the piston rod is filled with packing material. The packing is
compressed by a cast n gland which is forced down by means of two collar studs and nuts. e gland
is lined with a brass bush and a neck bush is inserted in the stuffing box. The ends of the bushes are
beveled. By doing so, the packing made to press tightly against the rod. An oil cup is formed on the
top of the gland to lubricate the rod.
