Hello!
I was wondering how I could make a pressure chamber to aid some chemical reactions? The higher the pressure I'd be able to put into the better, although I am not really concerned as I dont particually have anything in mind. I'd probably like to be able to heat it up a bit - if the reaction required so - so something made of metal would be ideal.

I dont mind if it is more theoretical than practical information but I would preffer practical, say something that I could do at home [regardless of its difficulty].

Any ideas are welcome,
Thanks!

I guess it all depends what kind of pressures you are talking about and what kind of materials/tools you have access to.

Personally, I'd rather buy this piece of equipment rather than having a glass+chemicals in my eye from an explosion due to faulty design.

yes, i agree. More or less this was for interest sake.
Thanks =)

Domestic pressure cooker?

Lined with Teflon, that's probably be a pretty solid option, other than the lack of pyrex.

Thanks for your replies! I was thinking something around the lines of a dog tin (metal), emptied with its tin resealed and a hole made on the top - which I would then put a bike pump valve (with a pressure release valve) in it. The system could be pressurised by a bike pump and theoretically heated as well.
Of course it wouldn't be able to take that much pressure and could easily burst open.

Although I do like the idea of a pressure cooker - which would also have a pressure release valve installed.
