What Is The Difference Between Glass Reactor And Stainless Steel Reactor?
Glass reactors and stainless steel reactors are widely used in daily experiments. Many customers do not know how to choose between these two products. Today I will introduce the difference between these two products to you for your choice.

1. First of all, in terms of material, the glass reactor is made of GG-17 high borosilicate glass. The transparent glass design makes the entire reaction process clear at a glance, which is convenient for observing the material reaction. The stainless steel reactor is made of 316L stainless steel, and the stainless steel reactor can observe the material through the observation window.

2. In terms of pressure, the glass reactor can only withstand negative pressure, not positive pressure; the stainless steel reactor can withstand negative pressure and a certain positive pressure.

3. In terms of acid and alkali resistance, the glass reactor is better than the stainless steel reactor. The glass reactor is more suitable for chemical synthesis experiments of strong acids and alkalis.

4. In terms of stirring, the stainless steel reactor has a larger stirring torque, and the effect of stirring viscous materials will be better than the glass reactor.

The difference between the two forms a sharp contrast. Glass reactors have very good acid and alkali resistance and excellent chemical stability, but can only withstand negative pressure. Stainless steel reactors are resistant to positive pressure, have a greater stirring torque, and are better at stirring viscous materials. The disadvantage is that they have poor resistance to strong acids and alkalis. You can choose according to your own needs when purchasing.
