A wire standoff suitable for use in a tubular reactor, such as a reformer, is described. The wire standoff includes a portion or segment positioned between an outer reactor tube and one or more reactor components located within the tube. The reactor components and the outer tube are prevented from coming into directed contact with one another by the positioning of the wire standoff. The wire standoff can be secured to a reactor component at one of its ends or to a washer located between stacked reactor components. Prevention of the reactor components from contact with the outer tube promotes fluid flow through the reactor and can enhance heat transfer and reactor efficiency for carrying out catalytic reactions. 描述了一种适于在诸如转化管的管状反应器中使用的线材支座。线材支座包括位于外部反应器管和管内的一个或多个反应器部件之间的部分或区段。通过放置线材支座，防止反应器部件和外管彼此直接接触。线材支座可在其端部之一处被固定到反应器部件或位于堆叠的反应器部件之间的垫圈。防止反应器部件接触外管会促进流体流通过反应器并可提高热传递和反应器效率，以便执行催化反应。
