500X wire mesh structured packing custom size 400 - 100mm fast
delivery
Hualai wire gauze structured packing is the preferred packing in distillation service for deep vacuum
and low liquid rate applications. The characteristic of lowest
pressure drop per theoretical stage makes wire gauze packing the
preferred device for processing specialty chemicals,
pharmaceuticals and temperature-sensitive materials.
Wire gauze packing is generally used in small to medium diameter
columns to achieve the maximum number of theoretical stages in the
minimum column height. Because of the capillary effect, the wire
mesh material provides an extremely wettable surface resulting in
excellent mass transfer efficiency particularly at very low liquid
rates.
Materials of Construction
The most common material used for Hualai structured column packing
is SS 304L and SS 316L. However Hualai manufactures this solely based on our customers’
requirements and can also be made from other materials based on
special requests. Other materials like Titanium, duplex 2205,
copper, etc. are also no problem with us.
Uniform Liquid Distribution
In order to achieve even liquid distribution over the packing it is
a must to have a good liquid distributor to maximize the
interaction of the liquid and vapor. However if the packing height
exceeds 3 meters we recommend using an intermediate liquid
re-distributor as well for even flow.

Applicable temperature (-200—400)℃. 0.15mm and 0.17mm wire are also
available.
②Metal wire mesh corrugated packing is suitable for clean
gas-liquid system without solid particles or suspended solids or
not easy to self-assemble.
