• In recent years, advanced technology plays a very
  important role in our daily life and it has
  changed a lot. There are a number of useful
  devices on todays market. In this article, we
  are going to talk about glass reactor which is a
  devices mostly used in chemical industry.

• Glass rectors are a type of chemical reactor
  which is vessels designed to contain chemical
  reactions. They are frequently used for stirring,
  mixing, dissolving, extraction and other process
  in chemical industry and lab studies. This device
  is in various types, for example stirred
  jacketed reactor and custom jacketed reactor,
  borosilicate jacketed reactor, double layer
  reactor, just to name a few. Now, there are many
  manufacturers can provide consumers good quality
  and reasonable price products.

• If you are going to select such device, here are
  some standard packages for your reference glass
  dome with ports of inlet, solid feed, vacuum,
  full glass vessel with bottom valve, coated
  stirrer, dry-running meachincal seal, adjustable
  speed, stirrer drive, mobile stainless steel
  frame, complete documentation. At the same time,
  there are some optional standards for you,
  including full glass reactors with heating or
  cooling jacket, glass reflux condenser, stirrers
  in different shapes, flush mounted drain valve,
  and capability etc.

• In recent years, borosilicate glass reactors are
  very popular on the market. Borosilicate glass is
  s type of glass that includes at least 5 boric
  oxide which makes the glass resistant to extreme
  temperature and also improves its resistance to
  chemical corrosion. It is well known that
  borosilicate glass has very low coefficients of
  thermal expansion, this enable it resistant to
  thermal shock. In addition, borosilicate glass
  has a very low thermal expansion coefficient,
  about one third that of ordinary glass this
  enable to reduce material stresses caused by
  temperature gradients so making it more resistant
  to breaking. Plus, borosilicate glass can provide
  following benefits, for example greatly reduces
  warping, polished reduce warping, printing
  without the use of a raft, finished models are
  easily removed from the glass once it has cooled
  down and no need for sharp tools. Developed by
  German glassmaker Otto Schott in the late 19th
  century, borosilicate glass now is very, very
  welcomed with these advantages.

• In addition to mention in above, chemical rector
  can be made from stainless steel as well. It is
  well known that stainless steel is very popular
  in kitchen wares as raw materials. More
  important, stainless steel also can used in
  device as raw material with its advantages like
  stainless has powerful corrosion resistance, fire
  and heat resistance, hygiene, aesthetic
  appearance, strength-to-weight, ease of
  fabrication, impact resistance, and so on.
  Moreover, stainless steel is often the least
  expensive material option when the total life
  cycle costs are considered.

• In conclusion, chemical reactor can be made from
  various materials however the glass and
  stainless steel ones are more popular on the
  market. If you are going to purchase glass
  reactors, many ways are available in additional
  to traditional shops, online services also are
  good choice in these days.
