Abstract (English)
A decomposition bomb in which intractable materials can be dissolved including a generally cylindrical hollow body, a liner of a chemically inert material within the body and extending over the upper edge thereof, a plug of chemically inert material which extends above the portion of the liner extending over the body and a closely fitting cap which is a hollow cylinder which can pass over the body, the liner and the plug to prevent movement of the liner and the plug. The invention also includes in association with the bomb a clamp within which the bomb can be located and which has a locking member having a pin bearing upon two ramps so that on partial rotation of the locking member pressure is applied to the cap of the bomb. |
