This report presents Hydraulics Laboratory data of the pressure drop characteristics for various combinations of ``pierced-solid`` dummy slugs in the support charges in the K, BDF, and C reactor process tubes. ``Pierced-solid`` slugs are regular solid aluminum dummy slugs which have been concentrically drilled so that mating against an I and E slug would not block the hole flow channel. No operating peculiarities were observed while using ``pierced-solids`` in the support charge.
