Portable Lapping Kits
Pressure Relief Valve Lapping Kit
Kemet have produced a lapping kit that can be used on Tyco, Crosby, and Anderson Greenwood pressure relief valves.
Incorrect lapping and or the use of improper equipment is a major contributor to seat leakage, which in turn leads to high emission rates and costs in loss of process.
Kemet Portable Hand 3 Lap Kit for Lapping and Polishing
The Portable Hand 3 Lap Kit is admirably suited for ON SITE refurbishment. It contains three lapping plates, each with its own grade of Kemet Diamond Compound. This makes it possible to process components, e.g. valves and seals, in three stages from lapping through to polishing. Each lapping plate is backed with anti-slip matting.
Portable Concentric Grooving Lapping Kit
Hand lapping uses the same principles as machine lapping with respect to abrasive grade / plate selection / plate flatness, but with the following exceptions
- Lapping plate is kept stationary
- Components are moved by hand in a figure of 8 action
- Diamond compounds or liquid diamond can be used
Carbon Mechanical Seals Lapping Kit
Kemet have developed a portable kit for dry lapping of carbon mechanical seals. The kit consists of a lapped aluminum substrate and 5 superfine abrasive discs. The specially designed discs allow carbon seals to be lapped without the need for any added loose abrasive. This alleviates loose abrasive impregnation into the carbon face.
