304 Stainless Steel Demister Pad
Stainless steel demister pads are mesh-like filters used to remove liquid droplets from a gas stream. The most commonly used material for these pads is 304 stainless steel. SS304 is a non-magnetic alloy made up of 18% chromium and 8% nickel. It is a versatile material which is widely used in many industries because of its excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature strength.
Benefits of stainless steel 304 demister pad is simple structure, small size, light weight , easy installation, high removal efficiency, no maintenance or service required, no corrosion or temperature limitations, no limitation on size or shape, reduce air pollution, long life etc.
Uses of 304 SS Demister Pads:
This stainless steel mesh demister pad is widely used in evaporators, refining vaccum towers, refining lube towers, steam drums, absorbers, scrubbers, separators vessels and knock out drums and any process vessels handling liquid and vapor where complete separation of entrained liquid droplets is desired from gas/vapor phase.
The main difference between SS304 and SS304L is their carbon content. SS304 has a slightly higher carbon content than SS304L – 0.08% vs 0.03%. This small difference allows SS304L to have better weldability and toughness than SS304.
