Hi Damon, > I hope your piping is better than class 150, and your fittings better than > schedule 40. Preferably you would want to use class 3000 pipe and schedule > 80 fittings of 316/316L stainless steal. The strength of stainless steal
Thank you for the safety concern. I'm using schedule 40 pipe and fittings. I looked at schedule 160, but the fittings are hard to find and expensive.. so instead, I assume my rig could explode and stay 100m away when heating. I run my experiments remotely using LabView via Remote Desktop and a solid state relay to turn on/off the heat. Also, I can monitor the pressure gauges from my webcam, and so far I haven't seen any real pressure increase when increasing the temp from 20 to 250C. Will try some simple and safe catalysts next.
