When cleaning a sealed tube after a high pressure reaction, care should be taken to avoid scratches and impacts that can affect the pressure resistance of the tube.
Here are some tips for working with glassware under pressure:
Use chemical splash goggles instead of regular safety glasses.
Use glass cone stoppers instead of Rodaviss sealing caps on the glass joints of the lid.
Control the temperature of the oil bath to prevent overheating.
A pressure reactor, also known as a pressure tube or sealed tube, is a chemical reaction vessel that can conduct a reaction under pressure. The pressure can be caused by the reaction itself or created by an external source.
