Stainless steel Intalox Saddle Ring is a kind of high-efficiency packing material, which is widely used in various reactors and distillation towers in chemical industry, petroleum, pharmaceutical and other fields. The correct installation method can ensure the stability and effectiveness of the packing in use. Let's introduce the installation method of the metal saddle ring packing.
First, we need to clean and inspect the packing layer in the reactor or distillation column to ensure its surface is clean and smooth. Then add the packing into the reactor or distillation column in turn, pay attention that the packing should cover the supporting plate smoothly and evenly.
Secondly, when the height of the filler reaches a certain level, the addition of the filler should be stopped in time, and the filler layer should be evenly compacted to ensure that the gaps between the fillers are filled. Uniform compaction can use a professional packing compactor or manual compaction, but do not over-compact the packing, so as not to affect the performance of the packing.
Next, we need to install a layer of partitions or grids on the surface of the packing layer to prevent the packing from excessive friction and collision during use, which will cause the packing to wear and break. Baffles or grids shall be installed in such a way that there are no appreciable gaps and no movement between them and the fill layer.
Finally, we need to install the inlet and outlet ports and discharge ports at the top and bottom of the reactor or distillation tower respectively, and seal them tightly. This can ensure the airtightness and safety of the packing layer during use.
Generally speaking, the installation method of metal saddle ring packing is relatively simple, but there are many details that need to be paid attention to. The correct installation method can ensure the efficiency and stability of the packing in use, thus ensuring the normal operation of the reactor or distillation column.
