Liquid: Water about 60-70 degrees F So the packing is experiencing the friction between it and the water, which we see as a pressure drop across the bed. The higher the pressure drop, the more shear forces exist, and possible damage to the packing will occur?

I have a packed bed with an inlet pressure of 108psig and an outlet pressure of 88psig to give a total pressure drop of 20psi. The packing is becoming damaged due to the 20psi pressure drop. I have thought and looked for an answer for a long while, why does the packing only experience the...
