Low Profile RingsProduct Bulletin 800
Superior performance by designTM
JAEGER PRODUCTS, iNC.®
JAEG
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.
