Demister Pads (Mist Eliminators) — ASME sizing practice
Demister Pads (Mist Eliminators) for removing entrained liquid droplets from gas and vapor streams in separators, scrubbers, evaporators and columns with knitted wire mesh demister pads (mesh pad mist eliminators). 5 sizes listed, with technical drawing and quotation.
Customize the parameters below — every spec field is editable, and the drawing redraws to match the values you choose. Changing the size will snap the other fields to that size's standard values; you can then override any individual value.

Demister Pads (Mist Eliminators) (ASME sizing practice) is used for removing entrained liquid droplets from gas and vapor streams in separators, scrubbers, evaporators and columns with knitted wire mesh demister pads (mesh pad mist eliminators).
Also known as: demister pad, wire mesh demister, mesh pad mist eliminator, knitted mesh demister
Vessel & manway: Pad diameter, number of sections and the largest piece that fits the manway.
Pad type: Standard density for general duty, high-efficiency for fine mist, open type for fouling service.
Support grids: Top and bottom grids with tie wires so the pad cannot lift or sag.
Materials
Standard supply is stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316/316L, Monel 400; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.
Fitting & Care
Pack sections tightly against the vessel wall and each other — any gap lets gas bypass the mesh.
Check the design gas velocity: above the flooding limit the pad re-entrains liquid.
Common Mistakes
Undersizing the pad area so gas velocity exceeds the design K-factor.
Using high-density pads in fouling or waxy service, where they plug.
When Demister Pads (Mist Eliminators) Is Not the Right Choice
Not a solid-particle filter and not for heavily fouling gas without an open or washable design.
Demister Pads (Mist Eliminators) is stocked and supplied to order in rolls, cut sheets and fabricated pieces. Pricing starts from approximately US$80.00 per unit for standard specifications in stainless steel 304; final pricing depends on specification, alloy, quantity and fabrication (MOQ applies).

What is Demister Pads (Mist Eliminators) used for?
Removing entrained liquid droplets from gas and vapor streams in separators, scrubbers, evaporators and columns with knitted wire mesh demister pads (mesh pad mist eliminators).
What is a demister pad?
A knitted wire mesh pad that captures droplets from a gas stream so they coalesce and drain away.
What droplet size does a mesh pad remove?
Typically droplets down to about 3–5 µm at design velocity.
Which material for demister pads?
Stainless 304/316 for most duties; Monel, nickel alloys or polypropylene for corrosive service.
What is the specification range of Demister Pads (Mist Eliminators)?
The table on this page lists 5 standard specifications for Demister Pads (Mist Eliminators), from 80 to 300. Specifications outside the table — custom mesh counts, wire diameters, roll widths and fabricated pieces — can be quoted on request.
