Bubble Cap Tray Column | OperatiX – 08
The Bubble Cap Tray Column OperatiX – 08 is a glass column, 750mm high and 50mm in diameter, with 7 trays. This Bubble Cap Tray Column uses riser and cap assemblies to direct vapor downward and bubble it into surrounding liquid on each tray. It demonstrates non-weeping tray behavior compared to sieve or valve trays. The column includes 3 input ports for laboratory setup.
The Bubble Cap Tray Column OperatiX – 08 allows liquid and vapor to contact as vapor rises through the tower and passes through bubble caps. This Bubble Cap Tray Column uses riser and cap assemblies on each tray to direct vapor downward and bubble it into the surrounding liquid. It is built with a glass construction for laboratory use.
Product Overview
In bubble cap trays, liquid and vapor are in contact as the vapor rises through the tower and passes through the bubble caps. A riser and a cap are the two parts of each bubble cap assembly. In order to bubble into the liquid surrounding the cap, the vapor rising through the column is turned downward after passing through the riser in the tray floor.
Trays with bubble caps are not meant to weep. However, compared to valve trays or sieve trays, bubble cap trays are also more expensive and have a lesser capacity and higher pressure drop. This Bubble Cap Tray Column demonstrates these characteristics directly.

Construction and Design
The Bubble Cap Tray Column OperatiX – 08 is built as a glass column, 750mm in height and 50mm in diameter. It contains 7 trays, each fitted with 1 bubble cap. Each bubble cap assembly consists of a riser and a cap. Vapor rising through the riser in the tray floor is turned downward by the cap, causing it to bubble into the surrounding liquid. The column includes 3 input ports.
Q: What is the Bubble Cap Tray Column OperatiX – 08 used for?
A: It is used to demonstrate vapor-liquid contact through bubble cap trays, where vapor bubbles into the surrounding liquid via riser and cap assemblies.
Q: How many bubble caps does each tray have?
A: Each tray has 1 bubble cap.
Q: How many trays does the column have?
A: The column has 7 trays.
Q: How do bubble cap trays compare to valve trays or sieve trays?
A: Bubble cap trays are more expensive and have a lesser capacity and higher pressure drop compared to valve trays or sieve trays. However, they are not meant to weep.
Q: What material is the column made of?
A: The column is made of glass.
