The Saddle ring has received its name because of the saddle shape of this packing. It is also called Berl ring. The earliest saddle packing ring's material was ceramic. In our actual application, when gas flows upwards, liquid will flow downward along with the arc channel. This movement way will directly reduce wall flow's happening. However, arched external frame also cause overlapping and bridging. Therefore, scientists changed two ends into rectangle type contact surface.
