Series 5100 Glass Reactors, 160-1500 mL

Series 5100 Glass Reactors, 160-1500 mL

The Parr series 5100 Low Pressure Reactors are offered in response to users requests for:

A system for running reactions similar to those that have been conducted for many years in the Parr shaker, but which offer stirring for better scalability, higher operating temperatures and pressures, and more extensive reactor controls and instrumentation.
Reactors for elevated pressures with glass vessels that permit direct observation of mixing action, color changes, or changes of state.
Reactors designed for convenient operation at moderate pressure and/or for corrosion resistance.

Convenient and Easy Sealing with O-rings and Split Ring Closures

Parr has developed a new O-ring and closure system to accommodate the requirements of this unique glass-to-metal seal and support, which is convenient to use. A face seal-type O-ring design is used with the proven and popular Parr split ring closure. For this application a special gasket groove was designed to retain the O-ring on the head of the reactor when it is opened. A full range of O-ring materials is available for chemical compatibility with reactants, products and solvents.
