Parr 599HC2 – 2 Liter Stainless Steel Pressure Reactor Vessel

The Parr 599HC2 Pressure Reactor Vessel is a precision-engineered, high-performance solution for laboratories requiring controlled high-pressure and high-temperature environments. Built from T316 stainless steel, it provides excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical durability, making it ideal for demanding chemical synthesis, hydrogenation, catalyst testing, and pilot-scale applications. With a 2-liter working capacity and adaptable vessel configurations, it offers flexibility for both research and development workflows.

What sets the Parr 599HC2 apart is its robust balance of strength, safety, and adaptability. Equipped with a split-ring clamp closure, versatile sealing options, and stirring configurations, it ensures reliable operation under pressures up to 1900 psi and temperatures approaching 350°C (depending on gasket type). Its compatibility with magnetic or mechanical stirring systems, modular accessories, and automation upgrades allows researchers to fine-tune conditions for even the most complex reactions. Designed for both benchtop and floor stand setups, this vessel combines ease of use with uncompromising performance.
