lava rock, SPP, scrubbers etc... are NOT structured packing, they ARE random packing.
Structured packing is something like folded mesh

Marbles could be in between if we consider they could stack in a regular pattern.

Good point!manu de hanoi wrote:lava rock, SPP, scrubbers etc... are NOT structured packing, they ARE random packing.
But it is useful to have the density information for all types of packing. Can you give some density numbers for your SPP packing for comparison?

Re: Structured Packing Density
about 1.6 kg/Liter. That's the rather compressed density after tapping the column on the floor. It can be less dense if just poured. SS is about 7.8 g/cm3 (please double check) and the wire is 0.25 mm diam, with that you should get the surface.badbird wrote: But it is useful to have the density information for all types of packing.
