6.2 Adjust and replace the packing

Check conditions for packing adjustment

Is the leakage rate less than one drop per second after adjustment?

Is the environment Ex-classified?

6.2.1 Adjust the packing when leaking is excessive

Tighten the gland nuts one-quarter turn with the pump in operation

Has the leakage decreased to two drops per second?

Shut down the pump if leakage continues to exceed two drops per second

Allow the packing to compress until the gland is about to contact the upper face of the stuffing box
