how do you read the experation date on the box of Zesta crackers
No, pump discharge pressure is not necessarily equal to stuffing box pressure. The discharge pressure refers to the pressure at the outlet of the pump, while stuffing box pressure is the pressure within the stuffing box where the pump shaft passes through. The stuffing box is designed to prevent leakage and can experience different pressure levels due to factors like friction and the sealing material used. Typically, the stuffing box pressure is lower than the discharge pressure, especially if the packing is providing effective sealing.

The type of engine does not decide if a stuffing box is used. The hull or skin fitting is chosen for its utility and practicability.
sure...go right ahead....or spend 99cents and get a new box
A packing gland is a specific type of stuffing box that contains packing material to prevent leaks around a moving shaft. A stuffing box is a generic term for a chamber that seals a rotating or reciprocating shaft to prevent leaks in various types of machinery or equipment.
I wouldn't rely on it if it's expired for the simple fact that the company can't garantee it's effectiveness of the product. So if you're not wanting to get pregnant I'd definitely buy a new box.

A stuffing box is an assembly which is used to house a gland seal.[1] It is used to prevent leakage of fluid, such as water or steam, between sliding or turning parts of machine elements.
A stuffing box is required to prevent leakage in rotating or reciprocating equipment, such as pumps and valves. It provides a sealing mechanism around a shaft, using packing material to contain fluids while allowing for some movement. This helps maintain pressure and prevents contamination, ensuring efficient operation and extending the equipment's lifespan. Proper maintenance of the stuffing box is essential to avoid excessive wear and leakage.
The propeller is at the end of a shaft. The shaft passes through a fitting called a stuffing box. The stuffing box contains a material like cotton or waxed twine that wraps around the shaft. There are two or more bolts that hold the stuffing box together and by tightening or loosening the bolts you can squeeze or release the stuffing material to the shaft. Ideally you tighten the bolts to the point that water just drips in. This allows the shaft to spin freely. It is lubricated by the water. If you tighten the box too much then you can score the shaft. The water that drips in is usually pumped out by a bilge pump.
