( 33) France (FR) ( 22) Filed 7718421 May 1978 ( 32) Filed 9 ( 44) Complete Specification Published 18 Mar 1981 ( 51) INT CL 3 F 27 B 14/00 ( 52) Index at Acceptance F 4 B 103 FG ( 54) RE-USABLE EXPERIMENTATION CRUCIBLE ( 71) We, SOCIETE D’ETUDES D’AUTOMATISATION, DE REGULATION ET D’APPAREILS DE MESURES, a Societe Anonyme organised and existing under the laws of France, of 101-103 Rue de Seze, Lyon, (Rhone) France, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to a re-usable experimentation crucible.
When making thermodynamic measurements, it is frequently necessary to experiment on substances subjected to high pressure and a high temperature, Generally, an experimentation crucible intended for this type of measurement must be in the form of a receptacle having thick walls able to withstand high pressures and have a cylindrical outer surface facilitating its introduction into a socket of a thermal fluxmeter with good thermal connection to the socket The purpose of the invention is to provide a crucible of this type comprising a sealed closure system which may be so arranged as to resistant to temperature and pressure but facilitate the recovery and re-use of the crucible after an experiment and may also comprise arrangements for pressurizing the inside of the crucible.
According to the invention, a re-usable experimentation crucible comprises a base and a cylindrical side wall surrounding an opening opposite said base, a support surface internally of the crucible and disposed adjacent to and directed towards the opening, a removable stopper supported and centered on the support surface, an annular groove located between the said support surface and the opening, and a ring of plastically deformable material engageable between the side wall of the crucible and the stopper, which ring may be forced in a direction towards the base of the crucible so as to deform and fill the annular groove and thereby ensure the sealed closure of the crucible.
After deformation, the ring forms a tight seal between the side wall of the crucible and the stopper Advantageously, adjacent the opening, the annular groove is defined by a step having a sharp edge, on which the material of the ring forms a pressureresistant anchorage.
In a particular embodiment, the stopper has two cylindrical ends of different diameters, connected by a central frustoconical part, the cylindrical part of larger diameter being supported on the said support surface whereas the frustoconical part is located opposite the bottom of the annular groove.
The frustoconical part pushes the ring towards the bottom of the groove when the latter is forced towards the base, and it then ensures the retention of the stopper by a wedge effect.
The recovery of the crucible can be achieved by selective chemical action or by mechanical destruction of the deformed ring, which remains accessible from outside even when it is pushed to the bottom of the annular groove.
If desired, a pressurization tube can pass through the bottom of the crucible which tube, depending on the position in which the crucible is to be used, can open out in the vicinity of the stopper or in the vicinity of the cylindrical side wall.
The invention will now be further described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:Figure 1 is a sectional view of a crucible formed according to the invention, before complete closure; Figure 2 is a sectional view of the crucible in Figure 1, closed in a sealed manner; Figure 3 is a sectional view of another embodiment of crucible formed according ( 19) Jun 1977 in 1 586 383 to the invention, provided with a pressurization tube passing through its base, and Figure 4 is a sectional view of a modification of the crucible in Figure 4.
The crucible 1 in the drawing has a general cylindrical shape It has thick walls and its outer surface preferably has an absolutely constant diameter, to facilitate positioning of the crucible with slight clearance in a tube or socket.
At one end, opposite its base, the crucible 1 is open and the inner surface of the crucible is machined, at a certain distance from this open end, in order to produce an annular groove 2 defined, adjacent the opening, by a step 3 having a sharp edge.
Beyond the groove 2, the side wall of the crucible 1 has a change in diameter creating a support surface 4 in the form of a ring, directed towards the opening.
The crucible 1 is closed by a removable stopper 5 having two cylindrical ends 6 and 7 of different diameters, connected by a central frustoconical part 8 The lower cylindrical part 7 of the stopper 5, which is that having the larger diameter, is supported on the surface 4 and centered by an exact fit.
The frustoconical part 8 is located opposite the bottom of the annular groove 2.
A ring 9 of initially cylindrical shape of plastic deformable material is engaged between the side wall of the crucible 1 and the upper cylindrical part 6 of the stopper 5, under the force of a rammer 10 acting in the direction of arrow 11, as shown in Figure 1.
The outer cylindrical surface of the ring 9 has a diameter substantially equal to that of the opening in the crucible 1, whereas its inner cylindrical surface has a diameter substantially equal to that of the upper part 6 of the stopper Thus, initially, the lower edge of the ring 9 remains at the height of the top of the frustoconical part 8 of the stopper 5.
Then, a considerable force or impact is exerted in the direction of arrow 12 in Figure 2 on the rammer 10, in the direction of the bottom of the crucible 1 This force or impact drives the ring 9 which deforms and fills the annular groove 5 After extrusion, the material of the deformed ring 9 anchors said ring on the step 3 and exerts a wedging effect on the frustoconical part 8 of the stopper 5 One thus obtains a sealed closure, resistant to high pressure and temperature.
After an experiment has been carried out, it is possible to recover the crucible 1, for example by selectively dissolving the material of the ring 9, which differs from the materials constituting the crucible 1 and stopper 5 which must not be deformed during the closing operation For example, the ring can be made of copper of aluminium and the crucible 1 of stainless steel, the ring being dissolved with dilute hydrochloric acid or soda It is also possible to extract the deformed ring 9 by mechanical action, in particular by a coring operation.
Figure 3 shows a crucible 1 constructed as afore-mentioned as regards the stopper 5 and ring 9 and provided with a pressurization tube 13 passing through the bottom, to which it is welded, this tube opening in the vicinity of the stopper 5 It is possible to introduce a liquid 14 into the crucible 1 held vertically, without it being able to escape through the tube 13.
Figure 4 illustrates a modification of the crucible in Figure 3, in Figure 4 the crucible 1 is used in the horizontal position The tube 13 which passes through the bottom of the crucible 1 is bent and opens close to the side wall of the crucible, above the level of the liquid 14.
