Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interlocking packing is the strongest because it has a unique locking feature that prevents any movement of the packing in the gland. The interlocking feature provides a tight seal even at high pressures and temperatures. Twisted and square braids are weaker options, while braid-over-braid is stronger than twisted and square braids, but not as strong as interlocking.
