Glasswear that can withstand high pressure - any suggestions?

AI Thread Summary
For applications requiring glassware that can withstand very high pressure, traditional pristine glassware is only rated for about 40 psi, and any scratches can compromise its integrity. For pressures around 22242 kPa (over 200 atmospheres), glass-lined pressure reactors or alternative materials like steel or polymeric cylinders are recommended, as they can handle significantly higher pressures. Given the context of superheating a substance that generates substantial pressure, glass may not be suitable due to its risk of shattering under extreme conditions. Exploring options like DOT tanks or other robust materials is advisable for safety and effectiveness.

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.
 
something that can withstand like 22242 kPa of pressure

:rolleyes: 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.
