3.4 Mechanical <strong>and</strong> Chemical Stability<br />

All packing materials are subject to the development <strong>of</strong> back pressure under flow<br />

conditions. The mechanical stability <strong>of</strong> the gel will determine its maximum<br />

allowable flow rate in operation. The pressure/flow characteristics, as illustrated<br />
