Low Profile RingsProduct Bulletin 800

Superior performance by designTM

ERFeatures

• Low Profile Rings have an aspect

ratio (height/diameter) of only 0.3.

• Low pressure drop

• Corrosion resistant

• Unique geometry, which maximizes

turbulent mixing between phases, while

allowing free gas flow through the

packed bed.

Benefits• When randomly installed, the bed forms

an integral reticulated structure with

excellent resistance to deformation to

allow higher bed heights than other

types of packing.

• The low aspect ratio offers opportunity

for efficient gas and liquid contact and

increased performance.

• Low Profile Rings have no protruding

edges or appurtenances which minimizes

the chance for nesting and offers more

uniform liquid distribution.

• With low packing factors, Low Profile Ringsallow increased hydraulic capacity while

maintaining a low pressure drop.

Jaeger Low Profile Rings

SpecificationsMaterials. Thirteen standard, injection moldable

plastics are available:

Polypropylene - LTHA CPVC

Polypropylene - (PP) PVC

Polyethylene (PE) Kynar® (PVDF)

Polypropylene Halar® (ECTFE)

Glass-Filled Tefzel® (ETFE)

Noryl® (PPO) Tefzel® Glass

Ryton® Teflon® (PFA)

Other plastics are available on request.

Sizes. Plastic Low Profile Rings Packings are made

in three sizes:

No. 1A ……… 1" Nominal

No. 2A ……… 2" Nominal

No. 3A ……… 3 1/2" Nominal

Values are based on specific surface area >43 sq. ft./cu. ft. Wetting

problems are observed most frequently with

plastic packings, but generally become acute only at

<2 gpm/sq. ft. When operating below this value, as in

vacuum distillation, new packings should be chosen

which have better wetting characteristics than those

replaced. Be certain to take capacity changes into

account. If materials with poorer wetting properties

must be specified, the bed height may have to be

increased or a smaller size (more efficient) packing used.
