Packed Column Calculator 2.0

Packed Column Calculator 2.0 is  a software used for  doing hydraulic design and rating calculations for packed columns and towers. The design basis for new columns can be approach to flood, maximum capacity or pressure drop. The rating mode lets you calculate the pressure drop and approach to flood for existing columns.

S.I., Metric and English units are supported and the program can convert between these systems of units. The Eckert and Robbins correlations are both included to cover the full range of liquid flowrates. Calculated results can be printed in tabular form, and plotted as a Generalized Pressure Drop Correlation diagram or as an Operating Diagram. The program includes an extensive illustrated database of packing types from the major suppliers, but custom data can be used as well. 

The packings included are:

• Raschig Ring
• Pall Ring
• Berl Saddle
• Cascade Mini-ring ( trademark of Koch (Cyprus) Limited )
• Flexiring ( trademark of Koch-Glitsch, LP )
• Hy-Pak ( trademark of Koch-Glitsch, LP )
• Intalox ( trademark of Koch-Glitsch, LP )
• Snowflake ( trademark of Koch-Glitsch, LP )
• Jaeger Tri-Packs ( trademark of Jaeger Products, Inc. )
• Nutter Ring ( trademark of Nutter Engineering )
• Super Torus Saddle ( trademark of Raschig AG )
• Ralu Ring ( trademark of Raschig AG )
