EF-25A Grid is used to process coking-prone feeds and up to 40% solids slurries Because Grid is free to expand and contract without damage under thermal
stress, Grid can maintain its structural integrity in turbulent vapor streams as
hot as 1000°F.

M, 2%, 4, and 6 in. available on special order. The 3-in., 4in., and &in. O.D. sizes are also made with ribbed or corrugated outside surfaces. The %in.,
4in., and Gin. sizes can be made in lengths up to 12 in., on special order.
**Porcelain Rings are about 5% heavier than Stoneware. These weight3 are the average for both.
