What does a demister pad look like

Demister pads has a variety of shapes and sizes and can be installed horizontally or vertically. A typical horizontal demister pads made from steel knitted wire mesh, several feet in diameter and standard thickness is 4” and 6”. Fine diameter wires which are typically ~0.0090 inches in diameter are interlocked by weaving machines to form a mesh pad with a high free volume (97% to 99+% void fraction) . A "tight" mesh (a lower void fraction and more dense) is more effective, i.e., it captures smaller diameter liquid droplets vs. an "open" mesh, less dense mesh with a greater void fraction.
