cSPHERE® A25 Ceramic Support Balls

Inert ceramic balls for the general run of catalyst and adsorbent beds: cSPHERE A25 is Interra Global's house brand, a silica-alumina ceramic recommended for service at or below 325°C (617°F) and supplied by size for new loads and change-outs.

Product Description

cSPHERE A25 inert ceramic balls are Interra Global's house brand of ceramic support balls: silica-alumina ceramic spheres at 68 to 73% silica and 23 to 30% alumina, an inert bed support media that holds a catalyst or adsorbent bed in place above the support plate and distributes flow through it. Interra Global recommends A25 where bed temperatures are kept at or below 325°C (617°F), which covers the general run of drying and purification beds; the ceramic's maximum use temperature on the data sheet is 1800°F (982°C). A25 is the general-purpose grade of the inert bed support media Interra Global supplies: PROX-SVERS T-86 is the silica-alumina ceramic grade under its maker's name, rated to 1800°F (982°C), for beds above the A25 recommendation, and the alumina grades, PROX-SVERS T-46 and PROX-SVERS T-99, take the hot, wet, and silica-sensitive beds. All four are graded by size to carry a bed and keep it in place.


Typical Chemical Composition


  • Silica (SiO₂): 68 to 73%
  • Alumina (Al₂O₃): 23 to 30%
  • Silica plus alumina (SiO₂ + Al₂O₃): more than 92%
  • Calcia (CaO): less than 1.5%
  • Titania (TiO₂): less than 0.5%
  • Magnesia (MgO): 0.76% or less
  • Alkalies (K₂O and Na₂O): less than 0.3%
  • Leachable iron: less than 0.1%


Typical Applications


cSPHERE A25 is typically used as inert ceramic support balls under beds that run at or below 325°C (617°F):


  • Molecular sieve and desiccant beds, in ethanol dehydration, natural gas dehydration, and similar drying processes
  • Activated alumina and silica gel beds
  • Catalyst beds in petrochemical and refining service that run within the recommended range


Sizes and Packaging


Interra Global carries cSPHERE A25 inert ceramic balls in seven sizes:


  • 1/8 inch (3.2 mm)
  • 1/4 inch (6.4 mm)
  • 1/2 inch (12.7 mm)
  • 3/4 inch (19 mm)
  • 1 inch (25.4 mm)
  • 1-1/4 inch (31.8 mm)
  • 2 inch (50.8 mm)


The other sizes on the data sheet, 5/8 inch (15.9 mm) and 1-1/2 inch (38.1 mm), are quoted on request. Support layers are typically graded from the smallest balls directly under the working bed to the largest at the outlet collector, and the loading drawing sets the sizes and depths. Packaging is 1 cubic foot (28 liter) bags at about 84 lb (38 kg) net for sizes up to 1-1/4 inch, and 25 cubic foot (708 liter) bulk sacks in every size. Pricing, availability, and lead time are quoted by size on request.


Interra Global supplies cSPHERE A25 inert ceramic balls for new loads and change-outs, quotes them by size, and answers sizing and quantity questions against a loading drawing. Some specifications call the product catalyst support ceramic balls, ceramic inert balls, or inert balls; the sizes above apply under any of those names.
