FEATURES

  • Pressure ratings to 60,000 psig (4,137 bar) & temperature ratings to 1,202°F (650°C) for many applications

  • 316SS is standard for these plug flow reactors; other corrosion resistant alloys are available upon request

  • Capacity range (1.8 to 45.5 cm3) with up to 0.44" (11.2 mm) ID is a practical size range for bench-scale experimentation

  • ANSI/ASME B31.3 rating assure best practice in material, design & fabrication for "built-in" safety at high pressure

  • Metal-to-metal seals in these flow through reactors resists aggressive chemicals / petrochemicals & extreme temperatures

  • Cone closure reactors can have indefinite life in high pressure & high temperature laboratory chemistry processes

  • Cone closure reactors are easily opened, filled & connected for rapid catalyst characterization & catalyst screening experiments

  • Petrochemical experts use high pressure laboratory steady flow reactors to model production equipment like polyethylene reactors

  • Coned-and threaded tubular reactors are successfully used in laboratories as thermocatalytic reactors in catalyst research

  • Obtain expert process equipment advice from the manufacturer & ongoing support from the local, factory approved supplier

 

BENEFITS

Parker Autoclave Engineer's Cone Closure tubular reactors are cost-effective for high pressure or high temperature research. They are offered in several sizes. These small volume vessels are ideal as bench-scale packed bed reactors. The closure creates a leak-free seal even when 1) repeatedly opened & closed 2) sealing hard-to-seal gases like hydrogen 3) stressed by temperature or pressure cycles.
