General Purpose Pressure Vessels PREFACE Scope These instructions cover the basic operating steps to be followed when using a variety of pressure vessels manufactured by the Parr Instrument Company. They include temperature and pressure ratings for Series 4600 and 4700 General Purpose Pressure Vessels, also instructions for the gage block assemblies commonly used with these vessels.
General Purpose Pressure Vessels Explanation of Symbols II On position, full power heater switch I On position, half power heater switch O Off Position ~ Alternating Current (AC) This CAUTION symbol may be present on the Product Instrumentation and literature. If present on the product, the user must consult the appropriate part of the accompanying product literature for more information. This CAUTION symbol indicates that the surface may be hot. Protective Earth (PE) terminal.
General Purpose Pressure Vessels User’s 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 which has the capability, pressure rating, corrosion resistance and design features that are suitable for its intended use.
General Purpose Pressure Vessels CLOSURES Split Ring Closures Most Parr pressure vessels are equipped with a unique split ring cover clamp in which the head of the vessel is clamped to the cylinder by a hardened steel ring which has been split into two sections. These sections slide into place from the sides without interfering with any fittings attached to the head. The closing force is developed by simply tightening a set of compression bolts in the ring sections with a hand wrench.
General Purpose Pressure Vessels PARR PRESSURE VESSEL SEALS Several different head sealing arrangements are used in Parr Pressure Vessels, each selected for easy access to the interior of the vessel as well as for safe operation within the pressure and temperature limits for which the vessel is designed. Both flat compression type gaskets and O-rings are used in these designs. The various gasket materials used in Parr pressure vessels are listed in Table I.
General Purpose Pressure Vessels Vessels with an O-ring seal The self-sealing design features an O-ring retained in a groove on the vessel head. This design is self sealing and the split ring does not require or have the compression bolts used with the flat gasket.
General Purpose Pressure Vessels Sealing 4740 High Pressure Vessels Closing operations for the 1.0 inch I.D., Series 4740 high pressure vessels are similar to those described for larger vessels with flexible graphite gaskets, except on the 4740 Series the compression screws are carried in a screw cap instead of in a split ring.

General Purpose Pressure Vessels 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 damp cloth. All power should be disconnected when cleaning.
