Step‐function injection and purging of a dilute salt tracer in water was used to measure axial dispersion for low Reynolds number liquid flow through beds of uniform sized, random packed glass spheres. The resultant data and those of several previous studies are coordinated and interpreted in terms of Reynolds, Schmidt, and Peclet numbers.
