Series AT-Smooth surface with small crossover points on narrow
rectangular pitch. A general purpose style, especially suitable for low
wetting rates and high vacuum applications. Series AS-A general
purpose style suited for high wetting and heat transfer applications.
Both AT and AS series are particularly suited for refinery applications
and can be used in the wash zones of atmospheric and vacuum
crude towers, or FCCU main fractionators. Series AL-Metal surface
with louvres in a repetitive pattern. Especially suited for low wetting
rates and chemical applications. Series BG-A wire gauze packing,
crimped to 60" from the horizontal. Recommended for high efficien-
