Inert Ceramic Balls

Devson Ceramic Balls are having excellent quality. Devson balls are having low water absorption, 100% survival in rapid depressurization test, high crushing strength, better impact Resistance (drop test), thermal shock resistance (quench test), very low attrition loss. Today, Devson balls are widely used in petroleum refining, petrochemicals, fertilizers plant, acid Plants and industrial gas industries. Devson Manufacture 3 types of ceramic balls with size from 2mm to 50 mm.DEV-25™, DEV-50™ and DEV-99™ are low purity, medium purity and High Alumina balls respectively.
