Two-Piece Pressure Reactors by Ace Glass Incorporated

Ace Glass heavy wall borosilicate glass, Pressure Reactors have been designed and tested to provide the chemist with a system to perform low to moderate positive pressure reactions, synthesis, and catalysis; or simply to run reactions under inert gas conditions. Reactor capacities range from 500mL to 5000mL, and use Ace Threds to achieve a leak-tight system. These systems are offered with jacketed or unjacketed vessels, with or without bottom outlet valves.

The Two-Piece System consists of a flanged flask and head with a shallow O-ring groove, O-ring, and quick-release clamp. Flange sizes range from 60mm to 150mm inside diameter, allowing the use of large agitators and facilitating product removal and clean-out.

Safety is the foremost concern when operating pressurized glass reactors. With this in mind, we offer a separate pressure relief manifold, which MUST be used in conjunction with all pressure systems. It consists of a glass manifold with Ace Threds, PTFE adapters, a pressure gauge, a primary adjustable pressure release valve, and a secondary fixed pressure rupture disc.

Base Systems include:

• Reactor Vessel
• Head and Clamp
• Bearing, Stir Shaft and Agitator
• Pressure Relief Manifold
• Addition Funnel, Condenser & Thermowell
• Stir Motor and Controller
• Heating Mantle and Temperature Controller (Unjacketed Systems)
