Are Top-Drive packings suitable to seal with air inside

Dear colleagues

 Might be a tough one for a Sunday, but we know you all like a challenge…

 Can you help me with regards to the TDS washpipe?  We recently had one leak and it was air in the string that leaked at 1500 psi.

  • Are these packings designed for fluids only or are they supposed to hold vapour/air as well?
  • Any suggestions?

Thanks

Colin
