stainless steel reactor vessel

A new stainless steel reactor vessel and a high-temperature upgrade kit are available to expand the flexibility and capabilities of this company’s Atlas product line. Using the same jacketed vessel clamp, oil drain unit, and fluid pipe connectors as the existing Atlas Potassium system, the standard glass vessel can be easily exchanged for the stainless steel version in under a minute. Available in a range of sizes from 100 mL to 5 L, the system has an integrated bottom outlet valve that compensates for any thermal expansion, while the torispherical profile and consistent length-to-diameter ratio mimic the dimensions of large-scale plant reactors. The stainless steel vessel is ideal for use with sodium hydroxide and other highly basic substances that would etch glass. A new temperature-upgrade kit also enables the Atlas glass or stainless steel jacketed reactors to increase the existing temperature range of –80°C to 200°C to 250°C, making it suitable for higher-temperature applications.
