Product Highlight: The K2 (often called "2K") Teller Rosette Ring delivers 95% void fraction with a packing factor of just 11 m⁻¹. Its spiked outer ribs eliminate liquid flow dead zones, delivering longer gas-liquid contact time and 40-50% lower pressure drop than conventional random packings [4,1](@ref).
The K2 Teller Rosette Ring—also referred to as "2K" by many customers—was originally developed by A.J. Teller in the United States in 1954. It is a proprietary random tower packing constructed from many small rings arranged radially into a large flattened spherical body, resembling a helical spring wound end-to-end [4,5](@ref).
The defining feature of the K2 variant is its spiked outer main ribs: small convex points are distributed evenly along the outer circumference. These spikes increase the effective wetting area and prevent any dead corners in downward liquid flow, significantly boosting mass transfer efficiency [2,5](@ref).

The K2 Teller Rosette Ring has a nominal diameter of 73 mm (≈ 3 inches). Market variants are also supplied at 76-78 mm with slightly different bulk numbers; the data below follows the most widely referenced 2K specification [4,5,9](@ref):
| Parameter | K2 (2K) Value |
|---|---|
| Nominal Size | 73 mm (3 inch) |
| Surface Area | 28 m²/m³ |
| Void Fraction | 95% |
| Packing Factor | 11 m⁻¹ |
| Bulk Number | ~6,600 pcs/m³ |
| Bulk Density | ~56 kg/m³ |
Data source: manufacturer technical datasheets [4,9](@ref). Variants at 76-78 mm report a bulk number of ~6,500 pcs/m³ and surface area of ~128 m²/m³ [5,7](@ref).
K2 Teller Rosette Rings are available in a full range of thermoplastic materials. Select based on your process temperature and chemical environment [6](@ref):
| Material | Density (g/cm³) | Max Temp (°C) | Typical Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| PP (Polypropylene) | 0.89 - 0.91 | 100 | General scrubbing |
| RPP (Reinforced PP) | 1.1 - 1.2 | 120 | Higher-temp organics |
| PVC | 1.32 - 1.44 | 60 | Low-temp acid gas |
| CPVC | 1.50 - 1.54 | 90 | Hot acid gas removal |
| PVDF (Kynar) | 1.75 - 1.78 | 150 | Chlorine, HF, harsh solvents |
Overall service temperature range across all materials: 60°C to 150°C [6](@ref).
The K2 ring is widely used across industries for gas-liquid contacting processes [4,6](@ref):

Q: Is "K2" the same as "2K"?
A: Yes. Many customers refer to this size as "2K" while others call it "K2". Both names denote the ~73 mm (3-inch) spiked Teller Rosette Ring [4,5](@ref).
Q: How much K2 packing do I need for my tower?
A: Bulk number is ~6,600 pcs/m³. For a 1.5 m diameter tower with 3 m bed height: π × 0.75² × 3 × 6,600 ≈ 87,800 pieces. Contact us with your tower dimensions for a precise quote.
Q: Can K2 handle high-particulate gas streams?
A: Absolutely. The 95% void fraction and spiked geometry resist fouling even with aerosols and fine particulates, making K2 a preferred choice for VOC and industrial exhaust scrubbing [2](@ref).
