OC Series O-Ring
Seal Reactors
The OC Series provide a simple closure that is reliable and easy
to assemble and disassemble. Standard material for the body and
cover is Type 316 stainless steel. The standard O-ring material is
BUNA-N. Temperature is limited by the O-ring to 250°F.
These reactors are suitable for either gas or liquid service.
Capacities range from 125 mL to 6,750 mL.
Standard connections are for 1/4" O.D. high pressure (coned
and threaded) tubing (HF4). Models OC-1 and OC-3 have one
connection in the cover. All other models have two connections
in the cover. Contact factory if other connections and/or locations
are preferred.

Confined Gasket
Closure Reactors
The Confined Gasket Closure reactors listed below are ideally
suited for use at elevated temperatures and pressures as shown
in the chart. Thrust bolts with a hardened thrust ring are supplied
to insure positive seating of the gasket. Torque required on thrust
bolts will range from 70 to 125 foot pounds, depending upon size
of reactor, pressure, temperature and media being pressurized.
Torquing of bolts should be done in a crisscross staggered pattern
to insure uniform seating. A commercial high temperature lubricant
should always be applied to the bolt threads and outside cap
threads to facilitate removal of the closure.
Standard material for the body, cover and gasket is Type 316
stainless steel. These reactors are suitable for either gas or liquid
service and capacities range from 125mL to 6,750 mL.
Standard connections supplied are for 1/4" O.D. high pressure
(coned and threaded) tubing (HF4). Models GC-1 and GC-3 have
one connection in the cover. All other models have two connections
in the cover and a thermowell that extends two-thirds of the inside depth.
Included with each reactor are eye bolts for lifting and necessary
collars and glands for the connections. Vise flats are machined
on to the bottom of the body for securing while assembling or
disassembling closure.

High Pressure Equipment

Series “R” Reactors

O-Ring Closure
The Series “R” O-ring Closure Reactors are easily
assembled and disassembled with minimal torque
required for complete engagement.
Material of construction for standard models is Type
4340 alloy steel (or equivalent) properly heat treated for
use at elevated pressures. (Some models can be provided
in stainless steel construction at reduced pressures —
consult factory).
Sealing is accomplished by a highly reliable combination
of O-ring and separate metal back-up ring. The wedge
shaped back-up ring is designed to expand and contract as
pressure increases or decreases. Consequently, the O-ring is
continuously confined with no clearance for extrusion. Minimal
initial torque is required to effect a positive seal.
Temperature on these vessels must be restricted to 250°F
maximum, due to the BUNA-N (nitrile) O-ring.

Included with each vessel is a Tony Bar for removal of the cover
nut and necessary eye bolt holes for lifting of the body and
components. Outer surfaces are blackened to prevent rusting.
Vent holes are provided to prevent pressure build up behind
the closure in the event of a worn or damaged seal.
Connections include a top and bottom high pressure coned
and threaded 1/4" O.D. (HF4) tubing connection. Other sizes or
locations for connections can easily be provided when preferred.
Consult factory.
Closures are designed in one-piece (cover) for vessels up

High Pressure Equipment

Tubular Series
Reactors
The Tubular Series Reactors are double ended pressure
vessels made from commercial quality cold drawn Type
304 stainless steel seamless tubing. Outside (non-wetted)
caps are alloy steel. These are both economical and
versatile vessels proven in demand for many applications.
Finishes are commercial cold drawn finishes, with honed
internal finishes.
Standard sizes are shown in the chart on page 10.11,
but special lengths and modifications are easily supplied on
request. One pressure connection for 1/4" O.D. high pressure
coned and threaded tubing at each end is standard. Additional
end connections are possible on the larger size models. Also,
side connections and end cover thermowells can be supplied
when required. Consult factory for special requirements.
O-Ring Closures are standard when temperatures do not
exceed 250°F. This is an easily assembled closure requiring
minimal torque for positive sealing. The standard O-ring material
used is BUNA-N (nitrile) with various other O-ring materials
available on request.
Confined Gasket Closures are available for temperatures
up to 800°F. A 15% reduction in the listed working pressure is
required at this elevated temperature level. These closures utilize
a metal gasket (304 stainless steel) which can be torqued down
for positive sealing. Torque requirements on the thrust bolts will
range from 60 to 110 foot pounds depending on size, pressure,
temperature and media being pressurized. These confined gasket
closures are available for all models except the TOC1 and TOC3
series. When ordering, simply specify catalog number and add
suffix “(W/Gasket)”.
Piston Separators can be supplied with the O-ring closure vessels
for use as compression cylinders. These are ideal for separating a
liquid from a gas and other similar applications. The tubing body is
supplied with a honed inside diameter surface to accommodate the
piston. When ordering, simply specify catalog number and add suffix
“(W/Piston)”.

High Pressure Equipment

Series “MS”
Micro Reactors
The Micro Reactors shown are designed for numerous
applications including small volume testing of components
and miniature scale reaction tests.
Standard material of construction is Type 316 stainless steel.
Operation at temperatures up to 800°F is made possible by
the metal to metal seal construction. Working pressures should
be reduced by approximately 15% at the maximum 800°F
temperature level.
Connections are for 1/4" O.D. high pressure coned and threaded
tubing (HF4). One connection is provided at each end. Other sizes
or types of connections can be provided. Thermocouples can
easily be installed with the use of thermocouple adapters
(refer to section 8.0).
