W
e have arranged this catalog in a manner
which will lead you to descriptions and
specifications for a wide range of Parr Laboratory
Reactors and Pressure Vessels, all offered with
many optional fittings and attachments. There
are many choices to be made. For example, when
selecting a stirred reactor, we offer:
Twenty-five
different Vessel Sizes
Five
different Working Pressure Ranges
Two
different Head Sealing Systems
Two
different Vessel Mounting Styles
Eleven
different Materials of Construction
Seven
different Stirrer Drive Motors
Six
different Magnetic Couplings
Various
heaters, cooling coils, stirrers,
options and accessories.
We hope that from these choices you will be
able to select a system that is ideally matched to
your reaction and installation requirements.
This catalog is divided into six color-coded
sections:
Blue Section
Chapter One
of the catalog contains descriptive
information on some of the major design features,
components, and options for Parr reactors and
vessels.
2 Green Sections
Chapters Two and Three
contain detailed
specifications and ordering information on all Parr
stirred Reactors in Chapter Two, and Specialty
and Custom Reactors in Chapter Three. Additional
tables in these sections will help you compare
different models and options.
Red Section
Chapter Four
describes the Parr Series 4838
Temperature Controller, the 4848 and 4848B
Reactor Controllers with various options, and the
Parr 4871 Process Controller, all of which can be
used in both stirred and non-stirred systems.
Brown Section
Chapter Five
describes various optional fittings
and custom modifications available for Parr stirred
reactors. Many of these options are also applicable
to non-stirred vessels as well.
Gray Section
Chapter Six
describes an extensive list of non-
stirred, general purpose pressure vessels together
with appropriate heaters and fittings.
