Claims
- 1. A heat resistant fluid sealing member comprising an annular slide contact member of impermeable carbonaceous material which is a sintered compact composed of graphite and mesocarbon microbeads.
- 2. A heat resistant fluid sealing member according to claim 1 for use in a valve, said annular slide contact member is disposed between a valve casing and a valve disc enclosing a fluid passage to seal fluid and being in contact with said valve disc.
- 3. A heat resistant fluid sealing member according to claim 2, wherein said graphite is selected from the group consisting of Kish graphite, natural graphite, crystalline graphite, earth graphite and artificial graphite.
- 4. A heat resistant fluid sealing member according to claim 1, wherein the mesocarbon microbeads have an average grain size of not larger than 10 .mu.m.
- 5. A heat resistant fluid sealing member according to claim 4, composed of an isotropic graphite material whose anisotropic ratio is not more than 1.10.
- 6. A heat resistant fluid sealing member according to claim 4, wherein said graphite is selected from the group consisting of Kish graphite, natural graphite, crystalline graphite, earth graphite, artificial graphite and mixtures thereof, said graphite kneaded with a binder, then ground and then mixed with mesocarbon microbeads.
- 7. A heat resistant fluid sealing member according to claim 1, composed of an isotropic graphite material whose anisotropic ratio is not more than 1.10.
- 8. A heat resistant fluid sealing member according to claim 1, wherein the sintered compact is a uniform mixture of graphite and not more than 15 wt % of a mesocarbon microbeads.
- 9. A heat resistant fluid sealing member according to claim 1, wherein said graphite is selected from the group consisting of; Kish graphite, natural graphite, artificial graphite and mixtures thereof.
