Intended Usage

This system has been designed for use as a low
pressure reactor system. It has been designed,
built, and tested to strict physical and electrical
standards. However, it is the user's responsibility
to install and operate it in conformance with local
pressure and electrical codes.

If the instrument is used in a manner not specified
by Parr Instrument Company, the protection pro­vided by the equipment may be impaired.

Safety Information

To avoid electrical shock, always:

1. Use a properly grounded electrical outlet of
correct voltage and current handling capability.

2. Ensure that the equipment is connected to
electrical service according to local national
electrical codes. Failure to properly connect may
create a fire or shock hazard.

3. For continued protection against possible
hazard, replace fuses with same type and rating
of fuse.

4. Disconnect from the power supply before
maintenance or servicing.

To avoid personal injury:

1. Do not use in the presence of flammable or
combustible materials; fire or explosion may
result. This device contains components which
may ignite such material.

2. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

General Specifications

Electrical Ratings

Controller ratings are found in the Operating Instruc­tions for the controller supplied with your reactor
and on the controller data plate.

Before connecting a controller to an electrical outlet,
the user must be certain that the electrical outlet has
an earth ground connection and that the line, load
and other characteristics of the installation do not
exceed the following limits:

Voltage: Fluctuations in the line voltage should not
exceed 10% of the rated nominal voltage shown on
the data plate.

Frequency: Controllers can be operated from either
a 50 or 60 Hertz power supply without affecting their
operation or calibration.

Current: The total current drawn should not exceed
the rating shown on the data plate on the controller
by more than 10 percent.

Thermocouple: Unless otherwise specified, all
Series 4848 Controllers operate with a Type J (iron­constantan) thermocouple. The total resistance of
the thermocouple and the lead wires should not
exceed 100 ohms. If the resistance of the thermo­couple circuit is higher, it will reduce the sensitivity
of the control system.

5100 Low Pressure Reactors

Users Responsibility

All Parr reactors and pressure vessels are designed and manufactured with great care to assure safe
operation when used within their prescribed temperature and pressure limits.

But… the basic responsibility for safety when using this equipment rests entirely with the user; who must:

1. Select a reactor or pressure vessel that has the

capability, pressure rating, corrosion resistance,
and design features that are suitable for its
intended use. Parr engineers will be glad to
discuss available equipment and material
options with prospective users, but the final
responsibility for selecting a reactor or pressure
vessel that will perform to the user's satisfaction
in any particular reaction or test must rest with
the user - not with Parr.

In exercising the responsibility for the selection
of pressure equipment, the prospective user
is often faced with the choice between over­or under-designed equipment. The hazards
introduced by under-designed pressure vessels
are readily apparent, but the penalties that
must be paid for over-designed apparatus are
often overlooked. Recognizing these criteria,
Parr reactors and pressure vessels are offered
in several different styles, each designed for
convenient use in daily operation within certain
temperature and pressure limits, using gaskets,
closures, and other elements carefully selected
for safe operation within the limits specified for
that design. But in order to preserve the validity
of these designs, all temperature and pressure
limits must be observed, and no attempt should
be made to increase these limits by making
alterations or by substituting components
which are not recommended by Parr Instrument
Company.

2. Install and operate the equipment within a
suitable barricade, if required, with appropriate
safety accessories and in full compliance with

local safety codes and rules.

All standard Parr pressure vessels are provided
with either a suitable relief device or a means
to attach one (typically in the form of a plugged
opening). When a pressure vessel is delivered
without a pressure venting device, it is the cus­tomer’s responsibility to provide pressure relief
in order to protect the operator and the equip­ment from destructive high pressures. If you
need more information or need help in selecting
a proper relief device, please contact Parr Instru­ment Company.

3. Establish training procedures to ensure that any
person handling the equipment knows how to
use it properly.

4. Maintain the equipment in good condition and
establish procedures for periodic testing to be
sure the vessel remains structurally sound.

Pressure and Temperature Limits

The maximum working conditions for Parr vessels
are stamped on the cylinder. No attempt should
be made to increase these limits by making altera­tions or by substituting components which are not
recommended by the Parr Instrument Company. It
must also be understood that lower pressure and
temperature limits may be required for modified
reactors and for vessels made of special alloys.
Limits for such vessels will be determined by the
physical characteristics of the vessel material and
will be prescribed on an individual basis.

Working temperatures up to 225 °C are permissible
in reactors equipped with fluoroelastomer (FKM)
O-ring seals, such as Viton®. The higher the operat­ing temperature above 200 °C, the shorter the life of
the O-ring will be. Perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) O-ring
seals such as Kalrez® have a broad chemical resis­tance. Unfortunately, they are very expensive and
will generally be reserved for unique applications.
Ethylene propylene (EP) O-rings can be used to 170
°C and are recommended for applications where
solvents such as ammonia and amines which will
rapidly destroy fluoroelastomer O-rings.

The maximum working pressure and temperature
for any vessel is governed by the design of the
vessel and the strength of the material from which
it is constructed. There is also a close relationship
between working pressure and temperature since
the strength of any material will normally fall off
as the temperature is increased. Temperature and
pressure limits are also affected by the physical
properties and temperature limits of the gaskets and
seals used in the vessel, and by any valves, gages
or other fittings attached to the vessel. Obviously,
the safe operating pressure of any system can be no
higher than that of its lowest rated component.

All Parr reactors show the maximum safe operating
pressure and temperature imprinted on the cylinder.
The working pressure and temperature in these 160
mL to 1.5 L reactors must not exceed the following
maximum limits:

Assemble the Reactor

These reactors require at least 10 inches of work­space from walls or flammable materials on a
sturdy bench, table, or floor in a well ventilated area
with convenient access to an electric outlet, running
water, and a drain. If the tabletop is not heat resis­tant it would be ideal to provide an insulated pad on
which to set the vessel when it is hot.

Review the following instructions first, prior to as­sembling the reactor.

1. Set the stand in the workspace.

Bolt the stand to a workbench or to the
floor using the holes in the base plate.

Place the head assembly in the stand. Make sure
the O-ring that seals the head and the cylinder
together is installed in the head groove.

Two types of glass cylinders can be used with
this apparatus (jacketed and non-jacketed) If
a jacketed cylinder is being used, remove the
jacket connection hoses, if present. A pair of
split rings, with thumbscrews, is used to join the
head and the cylinder flanges. The split rings are
lined at the bottom with plastic cushions that
eliminate metal against glass contact that could
result in dangerous point loading on the glass.
Examine the plastic cushions carefully. If they
are cracked or otherwise appear damaged, they
should be replaced.

CAUTION! Take care when handling the
glass cylinder. If any of the pressure or
load bearing surfaces become chipped
or scratched, the pressure rating of the
cylinder will be compromised.

If a metal cylinder is also being used with this
apparatus, note that the split rings differ from
those provided for a glass cylinder. Split rings
intended for sealing a metal cylinder to a metal
head should not be used with glass cylinders.
A clasp system on both ends of the split rings
is used to ensure proper alignment when as­sembled. Before using the split rings to mate
the head and the cylinder, make sure the three
thumbscrews on each half ring are backed off so
that the end of the screw is flush with the inside
of the split ring. Both sets of split rings feature
thumb screws to be installed finger-tight.

Parr Instrument Company

5100 Low Pressure Reactors

Carefully bring the flange of the glass cylinder
in contact with underside of the reactor head.
A lab jack / cork support is provided for 1.0 and

1.5 liter glass reactors. When using the lab jack,
bring the cylinder flush with the O-ring in the
head, ensuring no stress is put on the glass.
Align the major OD of the head with the OD
of the cylinder flange. If a jacketed cylinder is
being used, orient the cylinder so that the jacket
connections are oriented to either side. Hold the
cylinder carefully at the bottom with one hand,
slide one of the half split rings onto the head/cyl­inder flanges, and rotate/slide around the head/
cylinder flanges until the latches are facing you.
Use one hand to steady this half split ring to the
head/cylinder flanges as you attach the other
half split ring from the front. Secure the latches.
If using a lab jack, now lower it so that cylinder
hangs freely.

At this point, the glass cylinder will be held in
place loosely and can be rotated for proper ori­entation if needed. Tighten the six thumb screws
two at a time, 180 degrees apart in a criss-cross
pattern rather than progressively around the
circle until finger-tight and the head flange is
flush with the top of the cylinder flange. Do not
over-tighten.

Labeled connections are provided on the rear
panel of the controller.

Parr Cooling Only:

The Parr Cooling output connector is to be used
only with Parr Instrument Company cooling
solenoid valve assemblies supplied with the
appropriate cooling power cord.

Parr Heating Only:

The Parr Heating output connector is to be used
only with Parr Instrument Company heater
assemblies supplied with the appropriate heater
power cord.

Note: Do not make connections to a
Variac, Powerstat or the like to attempt
to control the heating output. The heavy
inductive load on the primary side of such
devices can destroy the internal sold state
relay located in the 4848 Controller.

CAUTION! Never use tools, such as pliers, to
tighten the thumbscrews. Excessive loading
on the cylinder flange can compromise the
pressure rating of the cylinder.

CAUTION! Before applying pressure to the
reactor, install the transparent Lexan safety
shield onto the front of the reactor stand.
Failure to do so can result in serious injury if
the cylinder should break under pressure.

To remove the cylinder from the head, follow the
above procedure in the reverse order. If a jack­eted cylinder is being used, drain and disconnect
the jacket hoses first.

2. Set the Controller near the reactor, leaving
a space of at least six inches between the
controller and the base of the reactor so that the
controller will not be unduly affected by radiant
heat. Connect the reactor to the controller using
information contained in its Instruction Manual
548M or follow the steps below.

Parr Motor Only:

3. The support and heater are shipped fully
assembled. The heater raises and lowers on its
support rod to permit the vessel or cylinder to
be removed. Lower the heater, open the hinged
retainer on the front of the support and slide the
vessel into its support. Fixed head vessels have
a square lip which fits into a matching groove
in the support plate. Removable vessels are
supported by the split rings which rest on top
of the support plate. The stirrer drive connector
lifts by rotating and lifting the knob above the
belt guard. The universal joint contains a cross
pin that slips into the groove on top of the
magnetic drive.

4. Connect the heater cord from the heater into
the heater socket on the rear panel of the Series
4848 Reactor Controller.

5. Plug the motor cord into the motor socket on the
rear of the controller.

5100 Low Pressure Reactors

Secure the clamp on the motor cord with
the provided screw next to the motor
socket for safety purposes.

6. Connect the thermocouple extension wire to
both the thermocouple and to the controller in
the “Primary Temp Input” position on the rear
panel. Insert the thermocouple into thermowell.

7. Connect leads from accessory packages such as
tachometer, pressure transducer and high temp
cut-off to the designated positions on the back
panel of the 4848 Controller.

8. Connect cooling water to internal cooling coil if
installed.

9. Connect cooling water to the magnetic stirrer.
See Instruction Manual 234M.

10. Connect tubing to the rupture disc outlet and run
to a safely vented area. See Instruction Manual
231M.

11. Note the voltage requirement on the controller
identification label on the back panel, and then
plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet.
Power for these reactors should be drawn from
a 3-slot, grounded outlet capable of carrying up
to the full current rating of the system.

12. Using the switch on the Reactor Controller, turn
on the motor for a short run to check the stirrer
drive system.

This apparatus includes a safety shield
which should be used at all times. A relief
valve pre-set to either 145 psi (CE certified)
or 150 psi is also provided as a safety
precaution to prevent over-pressurizing
the glass cylinder - this also should be
used at all times. Should this relief valve
be inadvertently removed, the glass vessel
could be over-pressurized, resulting in
an explosion. The safety shield has been
designed to withstand the force of this
explosion. However, in the event of an
explosion, some glass fragments will
exhaust through the vertical slots provided in
the back of the shield for the hoses.

Assembling and Connecting the Circulator Jacket Hoses

CAUTION! If a jacketed vessel is being used,
the compression fittings should be pre­assembled onto the insulated hoses before
attaching them to the cylinder. Failure to
do so or tightening any of the compression
fittings while the hoses are attached to the
cylinder will likely cause the jacket nipple
to break off.

Once the hoses are fixed at one end, they tend to
have a preferred orientation. The following hose
assembly procedure will minimize any side loading
by the hoses against the jacket connection nipples.

Attach the hoses to the circulating bath first and
route them through the openings at the rear of
the reactor stand. Note that lower left connection
is the jacket inlet. This should be connected to the
circulator pump discharge. Elbows are used on the
cylinder end to route the insulated hoses down and
then out the rear of the stand. With the hose in its
free state and not being twisted or rotated, tighten
the elbows to the hoses in a manner that orients the
open end of the elbow in line with the jacket nipple.
This minimizes any side loading of the hose against
the nipple.

Slide the brown plastic nut onto the nipple adapter
so that the flange with the O-ring groove is recessed
inside the nut. Tighten the tube stub onto the elbow.
Place the O-ring in the groove of each of the as­sembled adapters and then screw the hose adapter
onto the jacket nipple. Tighten firmly, by hand only!

No pliers!

Draining the Jacket

To drain the jacket, first lower the temperature of the
jacket circulating fluid to 60 °C or less.

Note: Oil, used as the circulating fluid,
drains much faster when it is hot.

Turn off the circulator and loosen the hose connec­tion at the top of the jacket. This will allow air to
enter the jacket and cause to fluid to drain back into
the circulator. When the draining is complete, both
hoses can be disconnected from the jacket. The ends
of the hoses should be supported at a level higher
than that of the circulator bath to prevent siphoning
and fluid loss.

Identify the Valves

Gas Inlet Valve

The gas inlet valve is easily identified when the
vessel is open by noting that it is connected to a
dip tube which extends to a point near the bottom
of the vessel cylinder. This is an angle valve with an
attached fitting which provides a socket for attaching
the A495HC pressure hose furnished with the reactor.

Gas Release Valve

The gas release valve is connected to the gage
adapter on vessels with volumes of 160 – 600 mL.
The gas release valve is installed in a port by itself
on 1 L & 1.5 L vessels. These ports do not have a
threaded connection on the underside of the head;
they are always open to the gas phase of the reactor.

Liquid Sampling Valve

The liquid sampling valve is attached to the same
fitting as the gas inlet valve and connected to a
common dip tube. With this arrangement, incoming
gas is always introduced below the surface of the
liquid and the operator is provided with a means for
clearing the dip tube to be sure that any sample taken
during a run will be representative of the charge. This
can be done by opening the upper gas inlet valve
momentarily to allow the inlet gas to force any liquid
in the dip tube back into the reactor before withdraw­ing a sample from the sampling valve.

Relief Valve

The relief valve is connected to the gage adapter
and is pre-set to either 145 psi (CE certified) or 150
psi to ensure that the glass cylinder is not over­charged. When using a metal cylinder, a plug is
provided so that the relief valve can be removed
(due to higher pressure rating of metal cylinder).

Other Vessel Head Fittings

Safety Rupture Disc

There is a safety rupture disc attached to the head
which is intended to rupture and release the pres­sure before it reaches a dangerous level. A metal tag
wired to the safety head identifies the burst pres­sure at room temperature for that particular disc.
A similar tag is furnished with each replacement
disc. This tag must remain with the apparatus at all
times so that both present and future operators will
be aware of the disc rating. Users should read the
discussion of rupture discs given in the Instruction
Sheet No. 231M for a complete description of the
characteristics of rupture discs and the precautions
to be observed when operating pressure equipment
protected by this type of safety device. The disc is
rated for 1000 psi and should remain installed for
both glass and metal cylinders.

Pressure Gage

A pressure gage, typically 200 psi gage for glass
cylinders and 1000 psi gage for metal cylinders
includes a T316 Stainless Steel Bourdon tube. It
is mounted on the head using attachment fittings
similar to those used for the inlet/sampling valve
assembly.

Type J Thermocouple

A Type J thermocouple in a 1/8” diameter stainless
steel sheath is furnished with the reactor. Insert this
thermocouple into the head thermowell and con­nect it to the thermocouple socket on the rear panel
of the reactor controller using the extension wire
furnished with the reactor.

*See Page 30 for drawing of head fittings and valves.

5100 Low Pressure Reactors

Accessories

Air Motor

Variable stirring speeds from 100 to 2000 rpm with
no spark hazard can be obtained by replacing the
standard motor with an air motor. This motor oper­ates on compressed air which must be supplied
at 40 psig minimum pressure with at least 10CFM
available at that pressure. It is furnished with a
speed control valve and oiler, all assembled on a
mounting bracket.

To operate reactors equipped with an air motor,
mount the drive system firmly on the support stand
and connect the air hose to a compressed air line.
Fill the oiler with SAE 10 oil and adjust the oiler to
feed one drop per minute into the air stream. For
long continuous runs at high speeds, the oiling rate
should be increased to three drops per minute. If the
motor becomes sluggish, flush it with a non-flam­mable solvent in a well-ventilated area. Disconnect
the air line and muffler and pour a small amount of
solvent into the inlet port. Rotate the shaft by hand
in both directions for a few minutes; then connect
the air line and run the motor until there is no
further trace of solvent in the exhaust. If the muffler
felts are dirty, wash them in solvent or replace them.
Relubricate the motor with a squirt of oil into the
chamber and reassemble. If it becomes necessary to
disassemble the motor to replace the vanes, follow
directions given in the instruction sheet published
by the Gast Manufacturing Corp., Benton Harbor,
Michigan.

Spare Parts Kit

Parr can furnish spare parts kits for these reactors
which will provide a reserve supply of parts and
tools sufficient to handle most normal replacements
and emergency repairs during a year of heavy
usage.

These kits contain replacement gaskets, packing,
O-rings, shafts, bearings, and rupture discs. They
can be ordered from any Parr Dealer or direct from
the Parr Instrument Company. The order must
specify the reactor size and indicate type of rupture
disc, stirrer drive and whether it has a flat-gasket or
O-ring closure.

Mantle Heaters

Mantle heaters with high temperature fabric heating
mantles housed in sturdy aluminum shells can be
provided for any plain (non-jacketed) cylinder. These
heaters are designed to provide uniform heat dis­tribution to the walls and bottoms of these vessels.
They are attached to a support rod with a spring
steel clamp and arranged so that they can be raised
or lowered on the rod as desired. Each mantle must
always be used with the vessel of the size for which
it was designed, and must always be fully attached
to the vessel before heat is turned on. Similarly, a
short vessel must never be heated in a deep mantle.
Without full contact with a vessel wall, a mantle will
overheat and burn out.

Variable Speed Electric Motor

Reactors are normally equipped with a DC variable
speed motor supplied and controlled through the
Series A2110E or 4848 Controllers. Instructions for
connecting and operating these motors are included
in the controller’s instruction manual No. 553M
or 548M. This motor is installed in a drive system
designed to produce stirring speeds from 0 to 1700
rpm.

Cooling Loop

Each 5100 Reactor has a single loop cooling coil
installed in the vessel (except the 160 & 215 mL
units). A slow, continuous flow of cold water
through a cooling loop proves a very effective
means for controlling temperature overshoot in
these reactors, particularly when operating at tem­peratures below 150 °C. Water flow through the loop
can be controlled automatically using a solenoid
valve in the cold water line, with the solenoid con­nected to the cooling socket on the rear panel of the
4848 Reactor Controller. With this arrangement, cold
water will be admitted to the cooling loop whenever
the controller calls for cooling.

How to use the Vessel

Gas Connections

Gas connections are dependent on applications.
For general usage, use the pressure hose furnished
with the reactor. Screw the Type “A” coned pressure
fitting into the adapter attached to the gas inlet valve
and tighten the compression nut firmly. Do not use
any thread dope on the coned fining. The A495HC
pressure hose is made of reinforced Nylon which
can be used for all noncorrosive gases at pressures
up to 2500 psig. For operations involving corrosive
gases, this hose should be replaced with an A490HC
hose which has a PTFE lining and a braided stain­less steel outer covering. Both of these hoses have
the same fittings. An A506HC all metal hose is also
available in stainless steel and other corrosion
resistant materials.

Pressurizing the Vessel

Check all valves carefully before admitting gas into
the system. The liquid sampling valve must remain
closed throughout the charging procedure. The gas
release valve must also be closed unless the vessel
is to be purged, or unless there is to be a continuous
flow through the reactor during a run. Always make
certain that the pressure in the gas tank is greater
than the pressure in the vessel; otherwise, liquid
will be forced out of the vessel and into the gas
tank when the inlet valve is opened. If there is any
possibility that the tank pressure might not be high
enough to force gas into the reactor, install a one­way check valve (optional) in the gas line to prevent
any reverse flow. With the inlet valve open and the
flow control valve on the gas tank closed, open the
main valve on the gas tank only about one-quarter
turn; then use the flow control valve or the valve
on a pressure regulator to control the flow of gas
into the vessel. After the desired pressure has been
reached, close the tank valves and the vessel inlet
valve and disconnect the hose at the vessel end.

Do Not Overfill the Vessel

Always watch the pressure gage closely when
admitting gas so as not to exceed the maximum
working limit. Remember that any subsequent
increase in temperature will raise the pressure.
Also, be sure that the amount of liquid placed in the
vessel is carefully controlled.

As a general rule, the liquid charge should not
exceed two-thirds of the capacity of the cylinder. Too
much liquid in the vessel can lead to development
of dangerous pressures if sufficient space is not
provided for expansion when the liquid is heated.
This hazard is explained in greater detail in a warn­ing statement included in the Instruction Manual
No. 230M.

Releasing Pressure

Use the gas release valve to reduce the pressure in
the vessel if the reactor is accidentally overcharged
when filling. Use this valve also to release any
excess pressure during a run and to exhaust the
vessel at the end of a run. If the discharge gases are
flammable or toxic, discharge to an exhaust hood or
to any other safe release point.

Withdrawing Liquid Samples

Liquid samples may be withdrawn from the sam­pling valve attached to the same adapter as the gas
inlet valve whenever the vessel is pressurized. Al­ways close the inlet valve before withdrawing a liq­uid sample and open the sampling valve cautiously
because liquid will be discharged with considerable
force. Be particularly careful if the temperature of
the sample is above its boiling point at atmospheric
pressure. If so, it will “flash” and be lost as soon
as it is released from the vessel. This problem can
be avoided by connecting an optional 4351 Sample
Collection Vessel to the sampling valve to collect the
liquid into an appropriate receiver. The addition of
a small amount of gas can be used to clear the dip
tube between liquid samples so that the next sam­ple drawn through the tube will truly be representa­tive of the mixture.

Initial Operating Test

Read all operating instructions carefully so as to be
well acquainted with the correct procedures for han­dling the vessel and for operating the controller and
other accessories. An initial operating test should
be made, with only water, to check the apparatus
before starting the first experimental runs. For this
initial test, fill the cylinder not more than half full of
water and run the temperature up to 150 ° C while
checking the apparatus for leaks and observing the
performance of the reactor controller.

Maintenance

General Maintenance Notes

1. Periodically inspect all electrical wiring and pres­sure connections for excessive corrosion. Sus­pect parts should be replaced by components
only supplied by Parr Instrument Company.

2. Always use appropriate wrenches on all fittings
and valves. Never use pliers or pipe wrenches.

3. Head and cylinder service fixtures are available
for convenience and protection of components
during maintenance of your reactor.

4. To reinstall straight thread (NPS) fittings to the
head, screw the gage or valves firmly into the
adapter. Run the bushing onto the threaded
stem as far as it will go. Screw this assembly
into the head until the nose of the adapter is
seated; then back it off until the valve or gage
is facing in the desired direction (no more than
one full turn). Hold the fitting firmly in place and
close the joint by tightening the bushing. This
connection can be made and broken repeatedly
without destroying the sealing surfaces. A light
coating of thread lubricant, such as Parr High
Temperature Anti-Seize Lubricant, applied to the
straight threads and to the nose of the adapter
will help to obtain a tight joint.

Note: PTFE tape should not be used on this
joint.

5. NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads should not
be disassembled any more than necessary. It
will become increasingly difficult to maintain a
tight seal with these tapered threads if the joint
is made and broken repeatedly. Grafoil tape or
PTFE tape (if temp allows) should be used on all
NPT threads.

8. Clean all threads and gas passages thoroughly
and remove all tape fragments when overhaul­ing a vessel. An ultrasonic bath is excellent for
cleaning metal parts, but do not place a thermo­couple probe, pressure gage, face seals or ball
bearings in an ultrasonic bath. Periodic cleaning
may be performed on the exterior surfaces of
the reactor stand with a lightly dampened cloth
containing mild soap solution. All power should
be disconnected when cleaning.

9. Routinely inspect cap screws on split ring clo­sure for lubrication and cleanliness. These
screws should not be allowed to dry because
the threads will seize. Regularly apply Parr
High Temperature Anti-Seize Lubricant (Parr No.
424HC2) before this happens.

10. To operate reactors equipped with an air motor,
connect air hose to a compressed air line. For
best torque and speed control the piping to the
motor should be at least 3/8” IPS or larger. Fill
the oiler with SAE 10 oil and adjust the oiler feed
one drop per minute into the air stream. For long
continuous runs at high speeds the oiling rate
should be increased to three drops per minute. If
the motor becomes sluggish, flush it with a non­flammable solvent in a well ventilated area.

Disconnect the air line and muffler and pour
a small amount of solvent into the inlet port.
Rotate the shaft by hand in both directions for
a few minutes; then connect the air line and
run the motor until there is not further trace of
solvent in the exhaust. If the muffler is dirty,
replace it. Re-lubricate the motor with a squirt of
oil into the chamber and reassemble.

6. Do not use oil or anti-seize lubricant on threads
or fittings if the vessel is to be used with oxygen.

7. If your vessel is equipped with a loose compres­sion ring be sure that it is in place on the head
before attaching any head fittings. The compres­sion ring cannot be installed after fittings have
been screwed into the head.

Periodic Pressure Tests

Each cylinder used in a Parr stirred reactor is tested
under hydrostatic pressure to the higher of 1.43
times the rated working pressure at room tem­perature or 1.30 times the rated working pressure
corrected for temperature before it is released from
the factory. Micrometer caliper measurements are
taken during this test to check the deflection of the
walls under pressure. Excessive deflection or failure
of the metal to resume its original dimensions after
pressure is released indicates that a cylinder is po­tentially unsafe and it will be rejected. Similar tests
should be made at regular intervals during the life
of each cylinder, and particularly whenever the user
suspects that the equipment has been over-stressed
or damaged.

Some laboratories maintain hydraulic test facilities
and make it a rule that all pressure vessels must
be tested at regular intervals. Records are kept of
deflections at specific test pressures so that any
increase in deflection becomes a warning that the
metal has lost strength. Any cylinder that fails to
return to its original dimensions after application of
the prescribed hydrostatic test should be discarded
as unsafe for further use.

Users who do not have pressure test facilities can
return any Parr pressure vessel to the factory for hy­drostatic testing and overhaul. This should be done
whenever the metal shows excessive damage from
corrosion or whenever an over-pressure or other
unusual occurrence raises any safety questions.

To return a vessel for repair, contact Parr Instrument
Company for a return authorization number (RMA).
