Abstract The design of a cylindrical cavity applicator is described. The unit is evaluated for applications in chemical laboratories. Temperature monitoring and control is achieved through the use of a thermocouple and computer software. The applicator is useful for heating relatively large laboratory samples of a few hundred millimetres. Other advantages include the ability to agitate the material and add to and remove liquids from the reactor through access ports without having to open to reactor.
