Vacuum Milling Jar

A sealed milling jar configured for evacuation and, where specified, inert-gas backfilling.

Overview

A sealed milling jar configured for evacuation and, where specified, inert-gas backfilling. The jar body, lid, valves and seals need to be specified as one compatible assembly.

How it works

The jar working surface forms part of the contact system between sample, media and mill. Material selection should balance the required mechanical action with chemical compatibility and the acceptable contribution from wear.

Vacuum capability does not establish a positive-pressure rating or approval for every reactive sample. Verify materials, seals and permitted operating conditions.

Key features

  • The published chart includes flange dimensions, internal depth and lid-inclusive height.
  • The complete envelope matters because a vacuum lid or flange can exceed a standard jar’s height.
  • The workbook includes a procedure using a stainless-steel vacuum jar, but does not supply a pressure-rating certificate.

Specifications

Published catalog references are reproduced below. Nominal volume is not a sample-mass rating. Confirm the selected model, material grade, electrical supply and complete supplied configuration in the quotation.

Applications

Materials-development procedures requiring a separately assessed sealed or controlled-atmosphere jar arrangement.

Suitability depends on the actual sample, process and analytical requirements; a listed application is not a guaranteed final-particle-size result.

Accessories and options

Specify body material, nominal volume, flange and lid geometry, valve arrangement, required operating pressure and the intended gas/liquid.

State the required grade, quantities, drawings and destination when requesting a quotation. Confirm what is included, the document requirements, packing and commercial terms; no generic delivery time or universal custom capability is assumed.

Selection guidance

Match vacuum-capable jar assembly to the sample chemistry and the elements or residues that matter to the analysis. Then confirm the dimensions, complete loaded mass and operating arrangement against the selected mill.

No particle-size, oxygen, pressure or purity result is reported. The specific steel designation in the product information is ambiguous and is not repeated as a verified alloy grade. This large-jar procedure does not identify a current catalog jar part number or pressure rating.

How to plan a fair comparison

For a vacuum-capable jar assembly comparison, use matched sample portions and the same measurement/dispersion method. State the jar, media, mass/volume loading basis, processing schedule and contamination measurements. A change in material grade alone is not established as the cause of a result.

These anonymous records are not operating instructions. Measurement and dispersion methods are not fully specified in the test summaries; results apply to the reported samples and conditions.

Product FAQs

Does a vacuum jar automatically permit pressurized milling?

No. Evacuation capability and positive-pressure rating are separate specifications. Confirm the complete assembly and its permitted conditions before specifying the process.

Which vacuum-capable jar assembly jar size will fit my mill?

Listed nominal volumes: 50mL, 100mL, 250mL, 500mL, 1L, 1.5L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 5L. Check external diameter, complete lid-inclusive height, holder/clamp geometry and loaded mass. Specify body material, nominal volume, flange and lid geometry, valve arrangement, required operating pressure and the intended gas/liquid.

Can this jar be filled to its nominal volume with sample?

No. Allow space for media and material movement, and check the permitted loaded mass. Vacuum capability does not establish a positive-pressure rating or approval for every reactive sample. Verify materials, seals and permitted operating conditions. Agree the charge for the actual vacuum-capable jar assembly jar and process.

How should I choose the matching grinding media?

Consider the sample chemistry, the jar working material, contamination limits and the required result. Vacuum capability does not establish a positive-pressure rating or approval for every reactive sample. Verify materials, seals and permitted operating conditions. Confirm the complete pairing before specifying a diameter mix or media charge.

Can a custom size, lid or vacuum version be requested?

Specify body material, nominal volume, flange and lid geometry, valve arrangement, required operating pressure and the intended gas/liquid. A proposed custom feature is subject to engineering confirmation and is not automatically included with a standard jar.

What trial evidence is available for this jar material?

Stainless-steel powder: XQM-200L, 7500 g in 50 L stainless-steel vacuum jar, 80 h recorded. No particle-size, oxygen, pressure or purity result is reported. The specific steel designation in the product information is ambiguous and is not repeated as a verified alloy grade. This large-jar procedure does not identify a current catalog jar part number or pressure rating. A material-family observation does not certify the supplied part or grade.
