Communication
A commitment to listen to our customers
and a willingness to make the additions or changes
in a reactor or pressure vessel that the customer may
want or need. Approximately 40 percent of all the
reactors and vessels we ship are modified in some
way over-and-above the options listed in this catalog.
Special valves, special head layouts, electrical leads,
special stands, additional openings, unique motors,
and non-standard materials of construction are just a
few of the modifications we work with every day.

Service
A commitment to maintain commonly
used replacement and service parts in stock
for same day shipment.
Investment
An investment in modern machine
tools and superior production manage-
ment methods enables us to make available
not only all of the options listed on the follow-
ing pages, but also to handle custom orders
for one-of-a-kind designs along with regular
production orders on a routine basis.
Research
A commitment to new materials, manufacturing
methods, research disciplines, and computer advances
to continue our leadership position.
Delivery
A commitment to prompt and dependable delivery
schedules for not only catalog items, but also for custom
equipment as well. Typical delivery time for catalog reactors
constructed of stainless steel is five to seven weeks. For special
alloys and custom modifications, plan for seven to nine weeks
for delivery. For systems or orders requiring extensive custom
design work allow at least eight to twelve weeks. Of equal
importance over the life of your reactor is our commitment to
maintain commonly used replacement and service parts in stock
for same day shipment.

Parr Instrument Company Warranty
Parr Instrument Company (Parr) combustion vessels, calorimeters, reactors, pressure vessels and
associated products are designed and manufactured only for use by or under the direct supervision of trained
professionals in accordance with specifications and instructions for use supplied with the products. For that
reason, Parr sells only to professional users or through distributors to such users. Parr produces precision
equipment and associated products which are not intended for general commercial use.
Exclusive Warranty. To the extent allowed by law, the express and limited warranties herein are the
sole warranties. Any implied warranties are expressly excluded, including but not limited to implied warran-
ties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
Warranty Conditions:
1. Non-assignable. The warranties herein extend only to the original purchaser-user and to the distribu-
tors to such users. These warranties or any action or claims based thereon are not assignable or transferable.
2. Use of product. The warranties herein are applicable and enforceable only when the Parr product: (a)
is installed and operated in strict accordance with the written instructions for its use provided by Parr, (b) is
being used in a lawful manner, and (c) has been stored or maintained in accordance with written instructions
provided by Parr, or if none were provided, has been stored and maintained in a professionally reasonable
manner.
3. The user’s responsibility. Parr engineers and sales personnel will gladly discuss available equip-
ment and material options with prospective users, but the final responsibility for selecting a reactor, pressure
vessel or combustion vessel which has the capacity, pressure rating, chemical compatibility, corrosion resis-
tance and design features required to perform safely and to the user’s satisfaction in any particular application
or test must rest entirely with the user - not with Parr. It is also the user’s responsibility to install the equip-
ment in a safe operating environment and to train all operating personnel in appropriate safety, operational
and maintenance procedures.
4. Warranty period. Unless otherwise provided in writing by Parr, the warranties herein are applicable
for a period of one year from date of delivery of the product to the original purchaser/user. Note, however,
that there is no guarantee of a service life of one year after delivery.
5. Notification. To enforce any express warranty created herein, the purchaser/user must notify Parr
in writing within thirty (30) days of the date any defect is detected. Upon request of Parr, the part or product
involved must be returned to Parr in the manner specified by Parr for analysis and non-destructive testing.
Express Warranties.
Subject to the above conditions, Parr expressly warrants that its products:
1. Are as described in the applicable Parr sales literature, or as specified in Parr shipping documents.
2. Will function as described in corresponding Parr sales bulletins or, for specially engineered assemblies,
as stated in the sales proposal and purchase agreement.
3. Will remain free from defects in materials and workmanship for the Warranty Period.

Mass Customization
Most of our customers have unique needs,
proprietary processes and in some cases, design
constraints. Our standard products come with
a large variety of options and accessories to
help meet those needs. But if you need a higher
pressure, higher temperature or a different
volume, we can usually do that too. We are
very experienced at combining feed systems
with batch or continuous flow reactors, adding
product handling options and a variety of detec-
tors for analysis of the results. Our controllers
can automate the process, control individual
components, datalog and archive the data. This
is called mass customization. Above is a simple example of the power
of our 3-D CAD system. We are able to
set the entire apparatus in motion from

the system upright to open the bottom drain valve. The product is filtered and collected in the lower heated sample collection vessel. This system is used for
making fabric from biomass. Most synthetic fabric is made from oil.
Horizontal Reactors
Stirring biomass such as straw or grasses
is not easy to do in a vertical reactor. A new
technology has been developed to do it horizon-
tally. In the system pictured to the right, a 1 liter
reactor can be disconnected to tilt vertically for
loading or tilt horizontally for stirring. A heavy-
duty stirring motor and double anchor stirrers
are used. Another option would be to tilt upside
down for discharge. A 4848 controller monitors
the temperature and pressure and controls the
stirring speed. A flexible mantle heater (not
pictured) is used to obtain temperatures up to
350 °C. Maximum pressure is 1900 psig for this
system.

Stirrer Options
Anchor Stirrers
Anchor stirrers are available in several config-
urations for use with moderate to high viscosity
materials. This type of stirrer usually works best
in vessels with an inside depth to diameter ratio
of 1.5 to 1 or less. They are intended to operate
at relatively slow speeds and generally require a
heavy duty drive system capable of generating
and delivering sufficient torque to the agitator.
Footless magnetic drives work well with anchor
or spiral stirrers.
Three basic types are offered:
1. A U-shaped, flat bar anchor.
2. A flat blade, paddle type anchor.
3. A two-arm or three-arm, self centering
anchor with PTFE wiper blades.
Spiral Stirrer Paddle Type Anchor All of these designs may not be appropriate or
available for each reactor size. Please contact the
Parr Technical Service Department for assistance
in selecting an anchor stirrer suitable for the
intended operating volume and viscosities.
Spiral Stirrers
Spiral stirrers can be installed in any 1 liter,
2 liter or 1 gallon reactor to produce a positive
downward thrust or upward thrust action when
working with viscous polymers or other high
viscosity mixtures. They work best in floor
stand reactors with adjustable speed and heavy
duty drive systems. Either left-hand (downward
thrust) or right hand (upward thrust) spirals are
available. The downward thrust spiral is gener-
ally preferred for heavy suspensions.
Note:
Additional internal fittings may be required to

Head Design
Many of the non-stirred vessels offer a basic head with a 1/8" NPT plug. These
should be considered as only a starting point for custom built vessels as they
do not include a safety relief device. Safety codes, good practice,
and common sense dictate that a safety relief device should be installed
on all vessels. The 1/8" NPT plug is provided for the user to install their
own safety relief device.
Users who take delivery of vessels without safety relief devices installed
must take responsibility for installing adequate protective devices before
the vessel is placed in service.
