The packing gland
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 answer is 0.95 and how you figure it out is you take the stuffing box bore (8.6) minus the pump shaft diameter (6.7) which equals 1.9. you than divide that number by 2 which equals 0.95 so 0.95 is the size of your packing!
It depends on the specific pump. For most: the impeller, the wear ring & mechanical seal. In a pump with a packed stuffing box, the packing. In some pumps, the shaft coupling.
A single suction pump having its suction nozzle on the opposite side of the casing from the stuffing box and having the face of the suction nozzle perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft
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.
increase pressure slightly and chck the packing glands on the pump or stuffing box on the valves

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.
The expiration date on a box of Stove Top stuffing is typically located on the top or side of the box. It may be printed in a small font and can sometimes be found near the seam or on the bottom of the box. Always check the packaging carefully to find the date.
