Autoclave door

[iscariote]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of any book or bibliography about how to calculate/design quick opening closures with teeth like retort or autoclave doors?

Thanks.

You mean similar to the interrupted threads used on the breech blocks of artillery pieces?

CR

"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." [Proverbs 27:17, NIV]

I do not know how those artillery pieces are, but I attached an image for better clarification

Thanks.

Considering that every vacuum furnace and autoclave that I have ever used had a different style of cam lock I am guessing that they are all home designed and built. Some of furnaces that quench at 5bar have very interesting ones.
