PARR - Series 4560 Mini Reactors, 100-600 mL
These are the most popular of all Parr Stirred Reactors. Although they are called “Mini” reactors, they offer a range of sizes large enough to work with significant sample sizes, yet small enough to be handled with ease by all operators.
They are made in both fixed head and moveable vessel styles and are available with an FKM O-ring seal for operating temperatures to 225 °C, and FFKM O-ring for temperatures to 300 °C, or with a flat, PTFE gasket for operating temperatures up to 350 °C maximum.
Choosing the high temperature option (HT) boosts the maximum temperature to 500 °C, but de-rates the MAWP to 2000 psi (138 bar). Standard Mini reactors can be converted to high temperature reactors (500 °C max temperature and 2000 psi MAWP) by changing the head assembly (contains cone connections, high temperature valves, and graphoil gasket) replacing the heater with a ceramic fiber heater and replacing the split ring.
