available and how to select it
IGH pressure research and pilot plant work have had strong
impetus in this country in the last decade, and an immediatc concern of those who conternplate processing under extreme conditions is “what equipment is available commercially.” Fortunately, the design and fabrication of the needed equipment has not lagged. Availability of special metals in adequate quantities and a t reafionable prices, development of superalloys, and solution of unique design problems have enabled a number of companies to specialize in such equipment. This article highlights high pressure equipment vhich can be obtained from major manufacturers. The information for the report was obtained through a questionnaire survey, and the editors believe a fair representation of the basic items has been made. 1nst)rumentation and auxiliary equipment have not been surveyed exhaustively and are represented only by random choices. The industrial firms specializing in equipment for processing a t extreme conditions are in a position both to specify and to supply auxiliary equipment of other manufacturers. The eyuipn-cnt described here is for the most part restricted to small scale operation, because commercial size equipment is usually tailor-made by manufacturers or engineering construction firms. For research purposes, practically any piece of equipment needed is commer,cially ‘
