Saddles - Random packings

Name: Saddles - Random packings | Hansa Engineering
Availability: InStock

Saddles are a standard random packing that is widely used in the chemical industry due to its excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.

Even though Saddles do not have the same performance as many other types of random packings, they are still used in many applications as it is a very cost-effective alternative.
