Product Overview

Application and service highlights

Introduction

PTFE lined drop tubes are intended for controlled introduction of corrosive fluids into process equipment from the top connection down to a defined discharge point. They are suitable for reactor charging and vessel feed arrangements where process entry must be protected.

Key Features

  • Guides the process fluid to the desired internal discharge depth.
  • Useful for controlled top-entry charging in vessels.
  • Helps protect the wetted surface from corrosive media exposure.
