A laboratory reactor which can be readily built at low cost is described. It provides convenient control of pressure, temperature, and agitation and permits removal of samples under pressure. The reactor has been used to study hydrogenation of 0.5–1.0 kg samples of edible oils at pressures up to 53 psi and temperatures up to 121 C. This equipment should be useful in studying a variety of other reactions of interest to oil chemists.
