High pressure laboratory reactor Parr Instrument
-> 3000PSI, -> 175°C, -> 600ml

Parr's Series 5500 High Pressure Compact Laboratory Reactors (HPCL reactors) are based upon our popular micro and mini, Series 4590 & 4560 reactors for chemical reactions under elevated temperature and pressure. This stirred reactors feature a smaller, more compact magnetic drive and variable speed stirrer motor that is directly coupled to the magnetic drive.

These designs are ideal for not only investigators with limited space or budgets, but also by investigators building multiple reactor installations for combinatorial chemistry or high throughput investigations.

The reaction vessels used in these new HPCL reactors are identical to the ones furnished in the Series 4590 micro reactors and the Series 4560 mini reactors. HPCL reactors use the popular Parr split ring closure. These vessels are rated for a maximum working pressure of 3000 psi. The maximum operating temperature is dependent upon the seal selected, PTFE gasket for up to 350 °C; with FKM O-ring to 225 °C or FFKM O-ring to 275 °C.

The 25, 50, and 100 mL reactors are equipped with gas inlet and outlet valves, a liquid sampling valve, pressure gage, safety rupture disc and internal thermocouple in addition to the internal stirrer. The 300, 450 and 600 mL reactors provide an internal cooling loop in addition to these fittings.
