Ceramic Saddles

Ceramic Saddles are traditional shapes produced from chemical porcelain or stoneware. Ceramic packings are fired at high temperatures and have excellent mechanical, abrasion, and heat resistance. Ceramic packing is commonly used in heat transfer and corrosive acid applications.

BENEFITS		FEATURES
	Excellent chemical resistance at high temperatures.	Ceramic novalox saddles are produced in accordance with newly developed manufacturing processes. These processes ensure the production of smooth, beveled and longitudinally ribbed bodies that are consistent and uniform in shape. This eliminates fluctuations in the product performance and makes accurate predictions of operating efficiencies possible. During manufacture, quality assurance testing is conducted in accordance with ASTM and DIN standards, and includes chemical analysis, maintenance of physical properties, and end-product chemical resistance These saddles are particularly suited for applications involving thermal shock conditions or continuous high temperature operations. The saddles are fire at 1200° C which results in better resistance to breakage from thermal shock conditions.
	Excellent resistance to thermal shock conditions.
	Good wetting characteristics.
	High mechanical strength.
	Abrasion resistant.
