The Tubular Reactor ReaktiLabX - 11 studies continuous reactor behavior using a helical tube design with preheated reactant mixing. This Tubular Reactor features stainless steel coiled preheating tubes, a T-piece mixer, and a PMMA water bath connected to the heating circuit. Conductivity is sampled at the inlet, center, and outlet to track conversion in real time. It requires the Service Unit for Chemical Reactors for pump, tank, and heating circuit support.

Construction and Design
The Tubular Reactor ReaktiLabX - 11 uses a helical tube reactor, 6mm inside diameter, with a capacity of approximately 280mL, made of stainless steel or PA. Reactants are preheated using stainless steel coiled tubes before being combined at a T-piece fitted with 2 nozzles. The mixed reactants then enter the helical tube, housed in a PMMA water bath, 150mm outer diameter and 2L capacity, connected to the supply unit's heating water circuit. The reactor is secured to the supply unit using two pins and connects via quick-release connections. Conductivity is measured by sampling at the inlet, center, and outlet of the reactor, using a combined conductivity and temperature sensor, with values digitally displayed on the supply unit.
