Technical Specifications

Core System Advantages

External Jacket Temperature Control

The Parr 4562 configuration is distinguished by its external jacket, allowing for indirect temperature regulation via an external bath circulator. This is critical for maintaining stable, uniform heating or rapid cooling during exothermic reactions, providing a level of thermal precision that standard heating mantles cannot achieve.

T316 Stainless Steel Durability

Crafted for longevity in aggressive chemical environments, all wetted parts are made from T316 Stainless Steel. This metallurgy provides superior mechanical strength and resistance to oxidizing agents and acids, ensuring experimental purity and reducing the risk of vessel contamination.

Reliable Mixing & Sealing

The unit features dual 4-blade impellers driven by a magnetic stirrer, providing leak-free, high-torque agitation. The split-ring closure system ensures a robust, metal-to-metal seal that remains gas-tight even under maximum pressure and temperature cycles.

4848 Process Controller Included

This system is ready for immediate deployment with the included Parr 4848 Controller. It offers centralized digital monitoring and control of internal temperature and stirring RPM, significantly enhancing the repeatability of your experimental protocols.

Typical Applications

Researchers in both academic and industrial settings rely on the Parr 4562 for:

• High-Pressure Chemical Synthesis: Safely managing corrosive or acidic reagents.

• Catalytic Studies: Evaluating catalysts under precise pressure and temperature.

• Pharmaceutical R&D: Developing APIs and fine chemicals with strict process control.

• Materials Science: Hydrothermal synthesis and testing material stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the benefit of the 450 mL volume over the 300 mL model?

The 450 mL volume (Model 4562) provides additional headspace and working volume while sharing the same compact benchtop footprint as the 300 mL (Model 4561). This makes it ideal for reactions that may involve foaming or require larger sample sizes for analytical testing.

Can the pressure gauge be swapped?

Yes. The standard 3.5-inch dial gauge (0-300 psi) can be swapped for different ranges to suit your specific pressure requirements. Contact us to discuss available gauge options.

Why is T316 Stainless Steel used?

T316 is a "specification-grade" stainless steel with added molybdenum, which significantly increases its resistance to pitting and corrosion, especially from chlorides and harsh solvents, compared to standard 304 stainless steel.

What is a high-pressure stirred chemical reactor?

A high-pressure stirred chemical reactor is a sealed laboratory pressure vessel designed to safely perform chemical reactions under controlled pressure, temperature, and agitation. Stainless steel reactors such as the Parr 4562 are essential in catalytic chemistry, pharmaceutical research, and materials development because they provide corrosion resistance, leak-tight containment, and uniform mixing for consistent experimental results.
