Glasswear that can withstand high pressure - any suggestions?

In summary, The conversation is about finding suitable glassware that can withstand high pressure, specifically 22242 kPa. One person suggests using glass lined pressure reactors, while another suggests using steel or polymeric cylinders. However, another person cautions against using glass due to its tendency to shatter at high temperatures and pressure. The original poster clarifies that the glass is for heating a substance that creates a lot of pressure at high temperatures.

Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone can suggest a kind of glasswear that can withstand very high pressure.

thanks all:)

How high is 'very high'? Pristine glassware with ground glass joints is only good to roughly 40 psi... NO SCRATCHES!

Glassware in steel cyls or polymeric cyls can go much higher. Glass lined pressure reactors can go very high, for example.

:uhh: You do realize what you're saying, right? You want a... glass vessel... that can withstand over two hundred atmospheres of pressure.

Good luck. You might want to try a DOT tank instead.

well it doesn't have to be glassware.

What are you using the glass for? It might help us give you a recommendation.

i 'm super heating a substance that when heated high tempetures it creates a huge amount of pressure. i don't think glass is the best use, cause it will shatter at a high tempeture and pressure.
 

1. What is glassware used for?

Glassware is used for a variety of purposes in scientific experiments, including holding and measuring liquids, mixing and heating substances, and performing various tests and reactions.

2. What are the different types of glassware?

There are several types of glassware commonly used in scientific experiments, including beakers, flasks, test tubes, graduated cylinders, and pipettes. Each type has a specific shape and function.

3. What is the difference between borosilicate glass and regular glassware?

Borosilicate glass is a type of glassware that is resistant to thermal shock and chemical corrosion, making it ideal for experiments that involve high temperatures and strong acids or bases. Regular glassware, on the other hand, may not withstand these conditions and may break or react with the substances being used.

4. How do you properly clean and care for glassware?

To properly clean and care for glassware, it is important to first rinse it with water to remove any residue. Then, use a mild detergent and a bottle brush to clean the inside of the glassware. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a clean cloth or allow it to air dry. Glassware should be stored in a clean and dry place to prevent contamination.

5. Can glassware be reused?

Yes, glassware can be reused as long as it is properly cleaned and cared for. However, it is important to note that certain types of glassware, such as pipettes, may need to be calibrated or replaced after multiple uses to ensure accurate results.
